  • “I have now made this bread three weekends in a row, only using oil instead of butter, and it has been wonderful every time.Easy, very few steps and ingredients, perfect for this busy mom of four.thanks much!”

  • “Of all the recipes for banana bread, this has consistently been the best.The recipe is simple, and the results are moist, banana-ful, and delicious.”

  • “One way to clean out the freezer of frozen bananas!!!I doubled the recipe and put it in 3 small loaf pans.I like doing it this way 1) the loaves cook better and does not burn the tops before the inside is cooked and 2) because I can freeze them and cut off a piece of bread when I need it.I like to have banana bread made up ahead of time, so if needed I could make a simple dessert of Banana Bread Pudding.This recipe was fast, easy and had a wonderful intense banana taste!I took the suggestion of other reviewers by using vegetable oil instead of butter and added some vanilla extract.Thanks for the posting!!”

  • “Super easy, super good.I added a dash of vanilla and threw in a fourth black banana into the mix.Then I made them into muffins.Some with chocolate chips, others with caramel chocolate swirl chips and the rest plain.All were delightful with a great texture.I may have to go out and buy a bunch of bananas just so they can turn black and I can make another batch!This recipe is a great base for endless variations.I can’t wait to try cinnamon and coconut and pecans and… and…”

  • “This is the best banana bread not only its so good and its also super simple thanks!”

With two babies and two puppies, anything that is simple and quick to get in the oven is a winner with me because Im always needed somewhere! Thanks alot!”
