    I just made it, this recipe is on the right track. Moist with a good flavor, a little more bananas and a little less flour would improve it! 7 out of 10 !

  5. Comment by April on 4 April 2009:

    This is pretty good… I agree with the previous poster–add more banana and a little less flour… This is also a good recipe to embelish with some personal flair: add some orange juice and grated orange rind or some chocolate chips or maybe macadamia nuts and coconut… But it’s pretty good plain, too! :)

    Could anyone tell me if I can add walnuts to this recipe? and if so, how much can I add?

  7. Comment by Laura on 3 May 2009:

    You can add walnuts or another type of nut like pecans. You could also add fruit or even chocolate chips. I would add about 1/2 cup of walnuts (or other ingredient).

    Good recipe!

    I made a few alterations.
    I’m in the Uk so I weighed things in grams.
    230g plain flour, 1/4 tsp salt, 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda, 115g butter, 170g dark brown sugar, 2 eggs and I only had 3 overripe bananas so I put in a dash of orange juice as suggested above.

    I also do not have a loaf tin so I used a round cake tin.

  13. Comment by Gemma on 13 August 2009:

    Shirley your a star, I’m also in the uk and was wondering what 1/2 cup of butter was??
    I’m heading in to the kitchen now to try your recipe!!!!

  14. Comment by Irmgard on 26 August 2009:

    Gemma. To measure half a cup of butter do the following:
    Half fill a cup with water and then fill the cup with butter until the water reaches the top of the cup. Empty out the water and there you have, half a cup of butter!

    can anybody tell me what would happen if i used cornflour instead of all purpose? its all i have in the cupboard but unsure if it would work, im not an experienced baker so i have no idea! willing to give it a go but mabye someone could save me from potential disaster!!

  16. Comment by Beau on 26 September 2009:

    I used cornmeal/flour in a banana bread recipe by mistake. I was out flour, went to the store and quickly grabbed what I thought was flour. When I got home it said corn flour. I had to use it as all the other ingredients were mixed. The banana bread was some of the moist bread I have ever made. Texture was ‘grainier’, along the lines of corn pones, but the flavor delicious. I received a lot of compliments on it. Friends said the bread remained moist longer.

  17. Comment by lutongpinoyrecipe on 30 September 2009:

    Add more mashed overripe bananas to make it more delicious.

  18. Comment by linda on 1 November 2009:

    What I can not believe!

  22. Comment by Andrea on 24 March 2011:

    Ihad to use white sugar as I ran out of the brown, but I added more bananas and it was awesome! I also added chocolate chips and my hubby and brother thought they were in heaven!
