I thought this bread was just too dry for me,I'm sorry but it just did not work for me. Darlene -
I used three over ripe bananas and I still did not taste much banana flavor. The bread did not turn out moist but kind of dry. Sorry Rennug but it did not work for me -

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I am a good ol' southern cooking, try anything, make anything, great-looking (LOL), Florida Realtor with no boundries when it comes to eating or cooking. I have been trying recipes on here and I guess it is only fair that I put a few of my own in the mix, as reluctant as I am about sharing my recipes. I had two of the best grandmothers teach me all about cooking and I have learned some of the best secrets. Everybody wants me to open a resturant, but I like to cook for fun not as a chore.
I love cooking for crowds and parties, I love rock n roll, beer and wine, and getting people to try things they would never think of eating and 99% of the time, my way they love.
