Scrumptious! This is the easiest banana bread recipe I have ever used. It took 5 minutes prep time and popped it in the oven. Great banana taste and not too sugary. I added another banana for super banana flavor.

I'm always looking for baked good recipes that do not contain eggs. (My son is allergic to milk, eggs, and peanuts.) This is the best egg-free banana bread recipe I've tried! I added chocolate chips (Yum!) and baked it for about 10 minutes longer than the recipe said.

I love this recipe - I increase the milk to 2/3 cup, makes the batter a little moister. We love it with chocolate chips. Such an easy recipe!
