This is awesome! I live in a very small apartment with no stove. You know it's a quality recipe when it comes out well after being baked in a toaster oven. :)

Wonderful recipe for banana nut bread. For nut allergies, substitute raisens for walnuts. For my oven, I have the best results cooking for one and a half hours at 350°F.

I added a heaping tsp of baking cocoa and some instant coffee with enough water and sugar to make it both the same thickness and the same sweetness as the rest of the batter. Then I added some Reese's pieces.

I used macadamia nuts, tastes great as a batter, can't wait for the loaf!

I think I would want to lower the sugar content from 1 and 1/2 cups of sugar to 3/4 cup. I used 3/4 cup of sugar in the easy banana nut bread recipe and it was great. Sugar doesn't affect how moist it is, does it?

I just made this, but I made muffins instead. I followed the recipe closely, but I wish I would have added some nutmeg, allspice, or cinnamon. It is good, but lacks something that could make it excellent. THANKS.

I have meant to write a review for this recipe for a while now. I have made this many many times and everyone LOVES it!!! It is super moist on the inside and has a sweet sticky crust on the outside. I make this in a muffin pan and takes bout 25 minutes in the oven. That way if all don't go, then I can put in the freezer easier. Absolutely delish! Make sure to have VERY ripe bananas as it does a lot of the moistness :) good luck and enjoy!!!

My family has always loved my banana bread, but I recently lost my recipe. I used this recipe last night and it was by far the best I've ever made. I did throw in a dash of cinnamon, brown sugar, and nutmeg. I also baked them as muffins, and they were perfectly golden in 30 minutes at 375°F.

Summer break is finally here and I was beginning to get really bored. So I searched for some new recipes that I can experiment with and I have to say, this recipe does not need to be changed! Super moist and surprisingly, my mom liked it. She never eats anything I bake. Definitely a keeper.

 SomeGirl (Nebraska) says:
I have Dalmatian bananas because I didn't feel like eating them this week so hopefully this recipe is good because we are having banana nut bread tonight! With all the great reviews, I can't wait! I guess I'll have to wait an hour but still, I can't wait!

Makes some amazing banana nut bread, simple and delicious. I had to cook longer then an hour (about 1 1/2 - 1 3/4 hours) but could of been the loaf pan. Amazing regardless.

 Deb (Illinois) says:
Can the sugar be cut in half? or will that change the whole texture.
   #89736
 Jamie (Texas) replies:
Amazing... only a few alterations.... sprayed flour Pam on bread pan and the sprinkled bread pan with either brown sugar or cinnamon sugar. Then I used "smart sugar" (half sweetener half cane sugar) blend instead of real sugar. It measures the same. Also added a couple of scoops of Valle protein powder to increase protein content and half 3.4 oz package of banana cream pudding mix. Mix all this with dry ingredients and follow directions as indicated. DELICIOUS!!!!! Super moist and a lot of flavor!

I made this recipe substituting sucanat for the sugar and freshly ground whole wheat flour instead of white flour - it is wonderful!

 Paula F. (Ontario) replies:
Made this today, BUT, I must admit I cut the sugar to 1 cup, added 1 teaspoon of veg oil and 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon. Turned out fabulous. My next one I'm adding choc chips and Iowering the sugar again. Delish!! Thank-you.

Can you remove the nuts and still get a good taste and texture as we have nut allergy in the family?
 #35278
 Cooks.com replies:
Hi Lyn,

Sure, it's your banana bread and you can leave out the nuts. It won't affect the taste so much as it will have a different texture, but will still be good!
