I loved this banana nut bread. I did use a little more banana than called for, but other than that followed the recipe.

Very good. I only got to try a small sliver as I made it for a bake sale we're having this week, but what I had was good. I eliminated the nuts and sprinkled oats on top of the bread for visual appeal. I'm tough to please with banana bread bc I always use my mom's recipe--couldn't this time bc I only had 2 bananas. Worked out very well. thanks for the recipe!

Best banana bread ever. I used applesauce instead of shortening, half cup brown sugar and half cup white sugar, added cinnamon and used whole wheat flower. I also used 4 bananas, added raisins, and put that oat and sugar mixture on top. This turned out fabulous! I baked it for about 90 minutes at 325. I wasn't sure if it was done in the middle, but after it cooled down I was able to check and and it was so moist and perfect. I will definitely be making this again.

used butter instead of shorting, added 1/2 teaspoon of cinamon, 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg, used 5 medium bananas so a bit more than the recipe called for. substituted whole grain wheat flour and brown sugar in stead of white. added 1/3 cup of golden raisins and used one whole egg and one egg white. cooked it in two loaf pans for 40 minutes @ 350, came out great and a bit healthier for you. Didn't rise as much as I would have liked but the flavor made up for it. maybe next time I'll play with the baking soda/powder ratio.

This turned out great! I used real butter and the flavor seemed to intensify the banana flavor. I also added cinnamon. I like the texture the oatmeal gave the loaf of bread. Excellent recipe!

This is a great recipe! I doubled the amount of bananas and left a few bits "chunky" and it tured out wonderful! I also put 1/3 cup chocolate chips in one of the loaves to see how that turned out....YUM! The oatmeal really adds a great flavor and texture to this bread!

Very Yummy! I used half butter and half sour cream instead of lard, brown sugar instead of white, and a quarter cup extra of oats, nuts and banana. Next time I will only substitute half of the sugar with brown as I would like for it to be a touch sweeter. Other than that it came out moist and delicious! The healthiest recipe around for banana bread. I thank you for the recipe!!
