This is the best banana bread recipe I have ever tasted. I added some maraschino cherries to the recipe and it was pure heaven!

mm, i just made it, and it is amazing.
Comment by blue bird on 26 March 2009:
I just made it.. While the bread did turn out moist, for me it was bland, I don’t believe this recipe called for enough bananas or eggs… or butter for that matter. Nice try, blue bird banana bread connoisseur
Comment by beth on 9 July 2009:
the bread was moist. Not to sweet and not overwhelming with banana flavor. I think it was just right if you want a sweet treat without feeling like you just put your tastebuds into a glucose coma.

Guess I’m just to old to know (or remember). Could you please tell me what “plain” flour is? I assumed it was white, but if that’s the case, where does the breas get it’s dark brown color from? Thanks …
Comment by Laura on 17 July 2009:
Plain flour is just regular white flour without a raising agent in it. The banana bread gets it’s dark brown color from the walnuts (optional in this recipe) and there’s probably a teaspoon of cinnamon in there too!

Cant believe this bb website its brill, its so getting me in the mood of baking lots of different bb’s. I tried this one lastn and made a few little adjustments to make it a bit healthier. Used wholemeal flour and added a large cup of dried oatmeal and 2 tablespoons of mixed spice. Turned out really nice, really moist and work colleagues were raving about it, looking forward to trying another one soon! tks for the great receipe..

Baked the bread but added an extra 1/4 cup of overripe banana and it came out sooo moist…better than the Betty Crocker Version!!!
Comment by Alba on 14 September 2009:
I made this yesterday, it was absolutely amazing. Best banana bread I´ve ever had.
Comment by Mary on 10 October 2009:
YUM! I made quite a few substitutions just to avoid a trip to the grocery store, turned out great:
-used 3 egg whites instead of 1 egg
-used all vegetable oil instead of butter
-replaced 1/2 cup of the sugar with honey
-replaced the walnuts with raisins
-added an extra 1/4 cup banana
THANKS!

I love this recipe, but I tweaked it just a bit, based on what I had and wanted to use up
I doubled the bananas (so 2 cups instead of one) and poured on the chocolate chips. They baking time was about 10-20 minutes longer as a result, but I wound up with amazing banana bread that hit the spot perfectly.
Comment by Tiff on 7 January 2010:
This banana bread is wonderful! I did add 1/4 c. extra bananas. I recommend cooking spray on your pan. I greased it with margarine, and the loaf stuck to the pan. But the cooking spray solved that problem. My husband is pretty picky and he absolutely loved this bread. Thank you so much for this recipe!!

This recipe is named true to it’s nature.
Comment by Bobbry on 9 January 2010:
We added 4 oreos in the mix and an extra 1/2 cup of bananas. In the oven right now we’ll see how it turns out…
Comment by Bobbry on 9 January 2010:
Alright well good thing it’s flavorless even with the added 1/4 banana and 4 fucking oreos.
Comment by Sue on 10 January 2010:
Well Bobbery if you take some of that sweetness coming out of your mouth and add just a little cinnamon and a pinch of cloves you will have a very tasty banana bread
Comment by jennifer christina on 16 January 2010:
just whipped this together! added some vanilla extract and cinnamon to mine…and layed thinly sliced banana and brownsugar over the top to bake…the next 54 minutes will be anticipation hell!!!

Bobby, shame on you! Foul language and a nasty disposition! Recipes are going to run the gamet of being great and lousy, we all have different tastes. Really? Oreos> That sounds terrible. hope you didn;t choke on them or your four letter words you big oaf.
