  • Reviews

  • “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!”

  • “I made so many changes to this recipe, it’s probably not fair to post a review, but I wanted to note my changes cause I plan on making it again.My 18 month old daughter can’t handle eggs, dairy or soy, so this recipe was a great starting point.After reading the other reviews, I added 1/2 tsp of cinnamon, 1/4 cup of brown sugar and 1/4 tsp of salt for flavor.I made muffins instead of bread, substituted 1/4 of the flour with whole wheat and used rice milk.I think it still needed a little more flavor.Texture was great and the tops of the muffins were nice and crunchy.I’ll probably try 4 bananas next time.Very good recipe.”

  • “WOW! I had no eggs and I just bought a bunch of overripe bananas so I decided to try this out..I made muffins. I took the advice of the people who said it was bland and added 1 1/2 tsp of cinnamon. Light, fluffy, and the batter was so easy to portion into muffin tins. I will be using this again and again. Oh also, I added 4 bananas.”

  • “this was the first time for me to make banana bread.this recipe was super easy!i was unsure that it would have enough flavor, so i added 1 teaspoon of cinammon and 1/2 a teaspoon of allspice.i loved it.”

  • “I wish i could have rated this better, but i followed the instructions as is and the flavor was incredibly bland, even with 2 extra bananas.Thanks for listing, but i prefer a more flavorful banana bread.”

  • “Wonderful banana bread. I used soy milk and I added cashews by mistake but they still turned out good. I had from a previuos recipe a small amount (2 tbsp) of sugar free vanilla instanst pudding so I threw that it. DH gave it 2 thumbs UP!! I attempted a few photos too but am still trying to master that.”

  • “This is my favourite banana bread recipe! It is incredibly moist, even a couple days later. I added chocolate chips and used soy milk instead of regular milk. I also added an extra banana and baked it for an extra 5 minutes. Perrrrrrfect!”

  • “This recipe turned out really well. I used skim milk and 3 bananas. I don’t have a mixer so I just mashed it up and there was still chunks of banana. The loaf is not too sweet which is what I like. It has the right amount of sugar. :)”

  • “used vanilla soymilk and chocolate chips. fantastic! this is definitely my favorite banana bread (and i’ve made a lot) “

  • “This banana nut bread was very quick and easy to make but I believe the ease in making was a sacrifice of flavor.I went exactly by the recipe and found the bread to be bland and the finished product very dense but not moist.”

  • “Can’t believe this bread was EGGLESS! Wonderful taste! Added walnuts and chocolate chips! Too good. Co-workers and family loved it!”

  • “I was a bit concerned because the batter seemed awfully thick, but it turned out very well….had it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.:-)I added chocolate chips and used skim milk.Very quick, easy recipe.”

  • “This recipe was superb!!I liked that it didn’t have an overpowering banana taste and the sugar was perfect too, not too sweet.I will be making this anytime I want banana bread!!Thanks for a terrific one-bowl recipe!!”

  • “A little belated but- I made this last Christmas for all my neighbors, and took a couple loaves on a 6 hour plane ride so we’d have something other than peanuts to eat. Followed the recipe exactly, and I always get excellent results! That’s saying something, since I can’t bake!”

  • “Great + Simple recipe for banana bread! It’d be hard to mess this one up. I added crushed pecans and I sprinkled the top with cinnamon and sugar before baking. It turned out perfectly! Next time I think I’m going to add an extra banana for extra banana flavor!”

  • “I have never liked banana bread in the past.This is realy good.My kids have ask me to make it again.I am greatful for it being egg free. It was nice a nd moist and easy to make. Thank you!”

  • “Very Good. My son is allergic to eggs, so this was a great find. Since eggless baked goods are in limited supply, I doubled the recipe and froze one for later. I’ve made it twice now with good results both times. The kids really enjoyed helping to make it!! Thanks for the recipe.”

  • “This recipe is super yummy!I love that it is soooo moist!I have made it with and without chocolate chips.Even though I am a chocoholic, I love this recipe without the chocolate chips too!I also use 1% milk, and it works out fine.I baked mine for a couple minutes longer than the recipe said.”
