- What a faaaabulous recipe. I chose this one because of the little amount of butter required. I opted for the milk instead of the sour cream...can only imagine it´s even better with sour cream (likcing lips). I live in Spain where the flour is different, and I haven´t had the best of luck texture-wise baking mom´s best this and mom´s best that...until today. What can I say, it was everything banana bread should be.
- This was awesome. We loved it, very moist and flavorful. Thanks so much, I will make this one again and again!!!
- made banana bread, I agree cut sugar down maybe to one cup, and add extra banana I also used apple sauce instead of sour cream or milk, and did add teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Based on other reviews, I made a bunch of changes. I think it's a great base recipe that you can change to suit your needs. That said, I made the following changes:<br/>- reduced sugar to 1/2 cup<br/>- added 1 tspn vanilla and extra tablespoon of milk to liquids<br/>- added 1/2 tspn cinnamon to flour<br/>- folded in about 1/3 cup of choco chips<br/><br/>This was on the drier side for a quick bread, but is so so tasty! I am very happy with the recipe.
- I added an extra banana and a bit more milk after reading reviews. Result was a very moist and delicious banana bread without a lot of fat. I also added nuts and chocolate chips. This is a great recipe...
Tweaks
- Delicious taste with applesauce instead of butter! Great treat or snack. The whole family loved it!
- Delicious. My kids and I ate half the loaf as soon as it came out of the oven. I used French Vanilla coffee creamer in place of the sour cream and it worked out fine. This bread is moist and flavorful...and I especially like that it does not contain a lot of grease. (not that I don't smother it with butter before eating!)
- I made one batch yesterday and it was a big hit in the family. The only comment was, its not moist enough. I'm not sure if i cooked it too long (i made muffins instead of bread) or i need to put more milk in it. Oh well, this is a recipe definitely for keeps
