One day I decided to modify my Melt in Your Mouth Pumpkin Bread to see if I could make up my own recipe. My family loved it and it was exactly what I was looking for so here it is.

  • “You did it again Mysterygirl!I thought the Melt In Your Mouth Pumpkin Bread was the best but this one is outstanding!If I could I would give it 10 stars!I made one and when we tasted it I just had to make two more.Can’t you tell we are all banana lovers ; ) After I made the recipe your way I added a few additions to the next two.One I changed the French Vanilla Pudding to Banana Cream Pudding and added nuts.The other I added nuts and chocolate chips.Another winner and a keeper, Thanks Mysterygirl!Truely, melt in your mouth!”

  • “Loved it!!The cake was GREAT!!The second time I made it I added toasted walnuts and believe it or not it was EVEN BETTER!I mixed it in throughout the cake and sprinkled it on top!!!FANTASTIC!!Everyone at work loved it too!!”

  • “This was the best banana bread I’ve ever made!It was so moist and delicious!It did take about 1 hour 15 minutes to cook.I noticed some said it fell apart.Just make sure you test it before you take it out of the oven.Tester was almost clean(just a little “stuff” on it) when it was done.One hour would not have been enough.But is it ever yummy!My mother is a Jiffy mix banana bread person, and doesn’t like any others, but she LOVED this one!Even my kids did! 😮 Thanks for sharing, and I CAN’T wait to try your pumpkin bread!”

  • “Since this was the first time I bake, I followed the recipe word by word. However, being a nutty nut, I couldn’t refrain myself from adding some chopped walnut. The baking pan I borrowed from a friend was well seasoned, so the cake lookedperfect. Everyone in my family agreed that the taste was exceptional. So “You did the time (typing the recipe) and I get the price (receiving all credits)” :-). Thanks for sharing your recipe.”

  • “This is the best banana bread I have ever made. I would never have thought of using pudding mix but it makes such a huge difference. Hey, if it works for cakes, it should work for breads. It is so moist and it really does melt in your mouth. When I have made banana bread in the past, I have always had the problem where the outside of the bread is burnt by the time the inside of the bread was done. I did not have that problem at all with this recipe.”

  • “I made this last night.I have 2 complaints.First, the bread stuck.I did not add anything or take anything away from the recipe.I followed it to the letter and I am a very experienced cook.Second, after 1 hour in the oven, the middle was still very raw.I had to bake this for an additional 30 minutes and it still isn’t really done.”

  • “Easy to make, did not stick to the pan . I did use 3/4 cup sugar and added 1/4 cup flour because the first time I made it I thought it was too sweet. Pretty good.”

  • “very good and moist i made this for my 1 yr old he loves it”

  • “Very easy, real moist and tasty. Glad you posted it. =0)”

  • “Made this for a homeowner’s association meeting, and it was fabulous!We paired it with a cinnamon, walnut, honey cream cheese.We made the bread a week in advance, froze it, then put it in the fridge to thaw for about 36 hours.It still tasted and looked great.Followed the recipe exactly, and had no problems with the bread sticking or taking too long to bake.The flavor and moistness were exceptional, plus it’s an easy recipe.I’ll definitely use this recipe from now on (can’t wait to try toasted nuts, maybe the banana cream pudding, chunky peanut butter, etc).”

  • “I love banana bread and this is, BY FAR, the best I’ve ever eaten. It was so easy, tasty and moist. I highly recommend this recipe to anyone who likes banana bread. Thanks for sharing.”

  • “Experienced same problem with sticking to the pan and underdone.I was hoping this would not burn on the outside and cook on the inside.Cake broke apart when I tried to unmold from pan. And I did grease it.Also, am feeling this recipe is a little shy of flour, using only half of what is normal in a Banana Bread.Also think blending sugar,Oil & eggs together first would have improved the whole texture.”

  • “Prepared this for my two sons and their wives.Have been making banana bread for them for many years and they both said this is the best one yet!I prepared it with Splenda instead of sugar which helped a little since I am diabetic.I also used chopped pecans in it and placed whole pecans on top.This is another one that I will add to the top of my list.Five stars is not enough!”

  • “Wonderful recipe!! Moist and delicious. I like the other persons idea of adding toasted walnuts too. I will definitely try that. Thank you!”

  • “This was really good-took the others advice and baked it for an hour and 25 minutes; also added some rum. Went together very fast; will definitely make it again. Thanks for sharing!!!!”

  • “The best banana bread I have ever made.I followed the direction exactly and your right we cut it with a butter knife and nothing stuck!I also added nuts and it tasted simply wonderful!I have eaten this for the past 2 mornings now with my coffee, it is still so moist.Thanks MG, this is a keeper!!!”

  • “This bread was about the best tasting banana bread I’ve ever had (and I’ve had lots!).I added nuts to mine and the only thing that I wasn’t so positive about was how moist it was.Strange to complain about something being too moist, I know!I truly thought it was undercooked at first because it was SOOOO moist.And I also had to cook mine for 1 1/2 hours, which is probably the fault of my oven and NOT the recipe.Next time I may try mixing the sugar with the eggs and oil and see if that changes the texture at all.Overall, a definite keeper!”

  • “Soft and moist with a very nice flavour and texture. A recipe to keep!”

  • “Delicious cake.Almost ate the whole thing in one afternoon.Thanks.”

  • “I just made this tonight. It is really good. I added a half a cup of walnuts,plus I cooked it an extra 20 minutes. I added a half a cup of applesauce instead of all the oil. I will make this again.Thank you for a wonderful recipe.”
