Nana's Banana Bread

I have a very similar recipe except we use whole wheat flour, almond extract and sliced almonds. I continously have requests for this bread. It is also a great recipe for my 2 & 3 year old daughters to help with.

I don't like bananas so I made this for my DH. He thought it was excellent--moist and falvorful. I made it in a loaf pan.

I had found another recipe as well and could not decide which to try out. Since I had enough bananas I decided to make them both. This one won by a long run on moistness and flavor. However, I did not have the heavy cream so I substituted sour cream for that and added 1/2 cup of chocolate chips. Man 'o man how I ran with this pan!! THANK YOU, Juju!

outstanding. I double the recipe and made two at once. I didn't use any walnuts but i chopped another banana up so there would be pieces in the bread. Absolutely great recipe. Thanks for sharing it.

This is hands down the best banana bread you will ever make. I have made it many, many times and everyone loves it. It's moist and not dry like other banana breads. Everyone kills for the recipe. My recipe calls for 1 1/2 cups of mashed bananas which is usually more than 2, so measure this out. Only other variations I've tried which differ from this recipe (which all worked)...I've used pecans sometimes and chocolate chips. But, it's awesome no matter what. Use very ripe bananas. Also, don't cut it right away. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and let sit overnight. Cut in morning. You'll be glad you did this. Good luck!

This is my favorite banana bread recipe! I make it using mini loaves and reduce the cooking time. It's so rich and moist. I also use 3 bananas.

This is the best banana bread my mom and I have ever had. It is a bit more like cake than bread, though, and I do recommend making it in something that is not a loaf pan (I used a 9"-square and it's good). I followed the recipe pretty exactly except I used three small-medium ripe bananas instead of the two suggested in the recipe. It seemed to give it a better flavor. I also excluded the walnuts--usually in banana bread walnuts really do add something but here I think it would have detracted from the cake-like consistency. Anyway it was delicious!

I followed this recipe EXACTLY, and was a bit disappointed by it. It was much drier than I would have expected. If I were to make it again, I would add a bit of oil and maybe some applesauce for more moisture. I would also not cook it quite so long.

This bread is perfect melt in your mouth, moist. Friends always want the recipe. I had to add a bannana to it, though.

This was a delicious recipe. I've never really gotten banana bread to turn out - I was never sure if my bananas weren't good or I'm somehow banana-bread challenged, but this turned out great. I did have to make a somewhat creative substitution when I realized I didn't have cream and it was too late to get some, I used 1/2 milk and 1/2 sour cream in place of cream. It turned out very well and was melt-in-your-mouth good.

Great Banana Bread! The flavor and texture was perfect. I doubled the recipe and made muffins instead of the loaf. I baked them 22 minutes and they came out perfect! Using a standard muffin pan, the regular recipe (not doubled) yields about 12-15 muffins. Thank you!

This is THE recipe I turn to over and over (I got the recipe the same way). I've had friends buy the supplies to have me make the bread for them. WONDERFUL flavor and texture. Not easy on the thighs but well worth the extra time on the treadmill.

Made this last week and made again last night because I had a couple more bananas to use up. Turned out really tasty. Will probably be my new banana bread recipe. Thanks!

Good recipe to get rid of some really overripe bananas I had in hand. Pretty moist, although I think I shouldn't have baked it in fewer minutes than it was called for.

This is so good! I used whole wheat pastry flour, splenda for the white sugar and added another banana. It was very moist and slightly sweet. My 3 children think it is the best banana bread ever!

Yum! This was very good! I used buttermilk instead of cream (didn't have any) 1/3 cup egg beaters instead of the eggs (my son has elevated cholesterol) and 1/2 tsp of cinnamon just for some taste and put it in two small loaf pans (8x4). Me and the kids ate one of the loafs in one sitting. I baked mine about 40 min but it could have used another 5 min. Oh and I cut it right out of the oven so it kinda fell apart but we couldn't wait :). I'm sure the next loaf will stay together better since it is cool.
