This is the worst banana bread recipe I have ever tried, and it is the worst bread machine recipe I have ever tried. It was not sweet at all, there was no banana flavor and it was gummy and tasted like glue. The recipe was followed very closely, and in all my years of making bread this is the ONLY bread recipe that turned out terribly.

Great instructions. The loaf came out very moist and as suggested I let rise an extra 30 minutes and baked for 40 and had to add a bit more flour. My family felt it needed a bit more banana flavour though. I will try with maybe 3 bananas next time. Thank you for posting.

Thanks for this recipe, Amy! I used leftover walnuts and it was excellent! As someone who looks for recipes and first sorts them by rating, I'm upset at one rating here. This recipe would be rated 5 out of 5, on average, if someone who used Splenda instead of sugar, then complained, hadn't rated it 1 out of 5 even though he/she didn't follow the recipe!!! Splenda's own website says: "If using Splenda for baking, you need to be aware that sugar has a significant role in the texture and appearance of baked items. Thus, if substituting Splenda for sugar, only replace 1/2 of the sugar with Splenda (or use the Splenda baking blends)." Some sites with banana bread banana bread recipes using splenda (there are many) call for 2x as much splenda as this one calls for sugar - no wonder it wasn't sweet enough!

If I could give this 0 I would. The bread collapsed in the middle, and was raw inside and overcooked on the outside. I added and added and added flour, because the mixture was super runny. I am not sure why the exact amount of flour for the recipe should remain a mystery? I was very disappointed with the, and I tasted the bread before pitching it in the garbage - it lacked salt, had too much cinnamon and tasted bland and unremarkable.

This is the best sweet bread I have made in my new Tefal bread maker. The banana flavour was subtle and the pecans and sultanas were a delicious addition. Thank you for the excellent instructions. As a new bread maker user I appreciated the extra hints like watching the dough as it is mixing. As it turned out my dough was sticky and I needed to add extra flour. I had not watched the dough being mixed before and I think this is why some of my other breads did not turn out so well. So not only did I make great bread I learnt something!

this is a wonderful recipe. easy, tasty, just sweet enough, especially if you put in the raisins or sultanas. i did have to add a bit more flour, as sooty cat said we may have to, and i used wholemeal flour instead of plain, and it came out fine. definitely one i will make again!!!

The bread was moist, but I was a little disappointed that it didn't have the strong banana flavor I am used to. I followed the recipe to a "t" using the 1/2 cup sugar variation. This recipe is good but not what I was looking for. I do enjoy trying new recipes though so thanks for posting this!

I really enjoyed the banana & cinnamon flavour. I used the walnut and sultana optionI too. I like my bread sweet and used 1/2 cup sugar as suggested. Next time I may just do the dough in the machine and bake in a loaf pan in the oven because my machine it is an older style which doesn't have just a bake setting - so I wasn't able to do step 7 and my loaf did burn. (Not the recipe's fault) So I will review this based on flavour. Thank you Amy for sharing your recipe.

I used Splenda instead of sugar and it was NOT sweet at all. I even added a little vanilla. I don't know if it was the Splenda but I was very disappointed.

You HAVE to try this...IT'S SCRUMMY!!!!! Moist and light, just the right amount of sweetness. And, the FRAGRANCE WHILE BAKING...amazing! I used bread flour and added some walnuts that I toasted just a bit. Can't wait to try it toasted and with peanut butter. THANKS SOOTY CAT!!
