Very easy. Very delicious. I didn't bother with the parchment. I love to bake mini loaves using cleaned (recycled) cans from canned vegetables, as well as a Pampered Chef mini loaf stoneware baker. Just spray the container with a bit of non-stick spray and it comes right out.

Hi Sherry... How long did you back them in the tin cans? I have 2 cans that I save just for this type of recipe but I don't remember the temp or how long to bake them. Thank you. Donna, Conway Ar.

Very good! I didn't not use parchment paper either. Just greased dish with butter prior to avoid stick. Turned out great. My kids loved too!

I made this today. I did not have the parchment paper or the loaf pan so I used a Bundt pan. I didn't add the chocolate chips or the nuts because I didn't have those either! I did 11/2x's the ingredients. My family loved it... I agree. Would like to make it a little more moist somehow though...maybe add a little applesauce?

This bread turn out really good! I followed the recipe exactly. I didn't use beaters just a hand mixer and the bread was very moist. I just sprayed my loaf pan, I did not use parchment paper.

Easy and very good. Used wax paper and just lifted the loaf out of the pan so my 14 year old could eat 1/2 of it right out of the oven - no cooling at all. Luckily I had doubled the recipe. Will definitely make again.

 Laura (British Columbia) says:
This is a great recipe. The second time I made it, I ended up substituting the sugar and milk with an extra banana and 1/4 cup of unsweetened apple juice concentrate. It turned out BEAUTIFUL. So, for anyone who needs to limit their sugar intake, try it out.

This was my first attempt at baking and turned out great. I substituted choco chips with reeses peanut butter chips instead. Taste great and was still moist on the inside.

 Jessica (Washington) says:
Yummy! I used brown sugar instead of white, doubled the cinnamon and added allspice. Used 3 mashed bananas and took out the walnuts and choc chips, and replaced them with a sliced up a banana I tossed in at the end. Soooooooo good!!

 Angela (Michigan) says:
I make this all the time with bananas left over from the week. So easy. I vary it often, brown sugar instead of white, have added allspice, used applesauce or apple juice instead of sugar, nuts/no nuts, chocolate chips/no chocolate chips... no mater how I vary it, it still comes out as AMAZING as the original recipe. I have some in the oven right now and the house smells wonderful! You can't go wrong with this one!

Like this recipe. Used gluten free all purpose flour and baking powder. Kids did not know the difference, at least I was able to enjoy it too. Add cranberries, and 3 different nuts and it was excellent.
