My banana bread came out great. I added a few ingredients to my batter. Brown sugar instead of white, and half butter and half blue bonnet, 1/4 tsp. rum, dash of cinnamon, all spice and oatmeal. I used no nuts. After it was done and cooled I put a few tbsp. of butter pecan pancake syrup on top. Boy was this delicious. The bread came out nice and moist. I forgot to put the salt but it didn't need it. I gave this a 5 star rating and will use it again. Great recipe for a microwave and I didn't have to wait an hour for it to cook in the oven.

This was easy to prepare and absolutely delicious. I did add two teaspoons of cinnamon for extra flavor.

My boss had 4 bananas on his desk... they were getting black. Last night I found this recipe, took all the ingredients in to the office (except bananas that were already there). I mixed it up at my desk, used all 4 bananas, added a tsp of cinnamon too. Poured it into my silicon bundt pan and baked in the office microwave. I dumped it out of the pan onto a large plate, poked a few holes in the top with a fork and drizzled just a tiny bit of dark maple syrup over it. It smelled amazing, and before I even got it back to my desk area 4 pieces were consumed by passers by. It is totally awesome - and unbelievable that it came from a microwave. I baked it 8.5 minutes and let it cool the 5 extra minutes in the micro... perfect. This just might be my go-to recipe for 'aging bananas'.

Just made it for the first time today. We had 2 over-ripe banana and looked up a recipe to cook banana bread in a microwave (our oven is currently broken). The bread came out extremely moist and delicious. We only added 1/3 a cup of sugar and it turned out perfectly.

Springy- like microwave eggs. I thought it was a bit bland. Mix the salt in at the beginning maybe to help with that?

I am living in a holiday cottage with only a two element electric stove and a microwave.So my cooking is limited two these two cookers.
I have tried a few microwave recipes, and your recipe is my favorite and a!so the kids' when they come to stay. The recipe is so straight forward and only requires one bowl for the mixing. I use Brazil but or Pecan nut ,'cos the kids don't like walnut flavour-too strong!

This was the first cake/bread attempt I had individually tried but it came out great. I would definitely love to try this out again.

Used square (10 inch) glass casserole dish, used 3 bananas. 1 cup brown and 2 tbsp. white sugar, with a couple teaspoons cinnamon. Looks and tastes great! I also broiled both sides on a very lightly sprayed (veggie spray like Pam) piece of foil on a cookie sheet just long enough to lightly brown both sides after inverting. I cut out the 3" center piece as it was not as full blown as the rest. I'll eat that tonight! It's a good recipe, though I have made b-bread before, but not in the micro. I like it, my friends will love what I pass out to them! Next up: a beer, lol! Thanks! BTW, I got the bread to 180°F then let it sit in the micro. :)

Great recipe! Just made cupcakes in microwave, turned out excellent, use 7 minutes for 700 watt microwave oven.

Moist, springy, delicious, and so easy to make. I'll be adding a little vanilla essence next time and lots more nuts though :)

I used coconut oil instead of butter, no lemon juice and 1/2 tsp. baking powder, but this cooked into a nice banana cake for me in an 8x8. Great recipe for microwave!

 Movie (Nevada) says:
Oh boy! I thought I had all the ingredients. I was short 1/2 cup flour so I used Bisquick as a quick replacement.

Then, I could not find lemon juice :) so I used Apple cider vinegar "the mother" I don't know...

Did anyone add vanilla?

 Colorado Girl (Colorado) says:
Suggest try these alterations, which worked for me : 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour, 1/2 cup olive oil, 1/3 cup soy milk, 2 eggs, 4 bananas, 1 tsp. baking soda, no salt, handful of Craisins and/or nuts, drizzle in 1 tbsp. molasses, moisten loaf pan with olive oil, 7 minutes in microwave.

A little dry but good. Used glass square pan. I didn't stir it up enough so it had flour spots! Otherwise good!
