I doubled the recipe and made 3 big loaves. Very good, moist and tasty. I cooked all three loaves together at 350 for about 55 minutes.

Yummy banana bread, especially warm. Easy to make and slices nicely. I baked at 350F for about 45 minutes. Thanks for posting this, I was looking for a way to use up three bananas and this was lovely.
