directions

  • Mix together the first six ingredients.
  • In another bowl, throughly stir together the eggs, bananas, melted butter, milk and flavoring.
  • Stir wet ingredients into dry until just moistened.
  • Pour into greased loaf pan or 9x9 pan.
  • Sprinkle top with walnuts.
  • Bake at 350, if using loaf pan will take longer, around 40-55 minutes. 9x9 will take about 25-35 minutes. Keep a eye on it and check with a knife to see if done.
  • If top starts browning too early, cover with foil.
  • Sometimes we stirred extra walnuts into the batter.

  1. Very good quick bread. Like a couple of other reviewers, I used a full teaspoon of the maple extract as I was afraid the bananas would overpower the maple flavor. I used chopped pecans on top of the bread, and covered the loaf pan with foil during the last 15 minutes so they wouldn't burn. This bread smelled heavenly when it was baking! After tasting it, I noticed that it wasn't overly sweet (which I liked), but also realized that the bananas still overpowered the maple flavor, so I made a light glaze of powdered sugar, real maple syrup, a 1/4 tsp maple extract & a little water to make it drizzling consistency. Perfect! I will make this again - thanks for posting! -M =)
     
  2. Easy and very tasty recipe.
     
  3. Yummy!! My family really loved this moist, delicious bread. It goes together very quickly and has a nice, subtle maple flavor. I did increase the maple flavoring to 1 tsp. and I'm glad that I did because I don't think you'd be able to taste it otherwise. Also, I used pecans and added 1/4 cup to the batter and 1/4 cup for the top of the loaf. I baked it in a cast iron loaf pan for 50 mins. at 325 degrees and it came out perfect. Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe...it is definitely a keeper!
     
  4. I made this for a friend and here are her comments "The bread was yummy, it tasted a little richer than just the brown sugar thats usually in banana bread. I like it though, very yummy." I used a whole teaspoon of maple flavoring and pecans instead of walnuts. Thank you!
     
  5. This is fabulous! It was simple and turned out perfect! You definately want to try this one warm out of the oven. Thanks, I'll be making this again!

  2. OMG - was this moist. I never made a more moist bread. The walnuts on top was a great change from just adding them into the batter. Some migrate down anyway. It makes it's own crunchy topping. I used walnut oil instead of butter. I didn't taste much maple and next time will increase the amount. Glad I chose you for PAC. Thanks Karamia!
     
  3. This bread is a moist, healthy alternative for banana bread. I used Splenda for the white sugar and 3/4 of whole wheat pastry flour instead of all all-purpose flour. I stirred some nuts into the batter; however, I used pecans instead of walnuts as that was what I had on hand. The recipe was baked in my mini loaf pans and it yielded 3 beautiful mini loaves. The only thing I would change next time is to add additional maple flavoring as the flavor really didn't come through.
