In State and County Fair competitions, of which I am a major blue ribbon winner, this recipe is the Bomb! It has no vanilla so the true banana flavor comes through.

Best banana bread ever! I was looking for a great banana bread recipe, & tried many; this was the winner! I tried ONE that was just as good, so I asked for the recipe.. turns out, it was the SAME recipe. I had dropped a copy on the floor at her house. =) Still the reigning recipe! LOVE IT!!

Been making this recipe for years and is always a hit! Just make sure to not over-beat the batter or the bread will be a little too dense.

I love this recipe! I love adapting it to however I want by adding/subbing EVOO, whole wheat flour, brown sugar, cinnamon/nutmeg/allspice, pecans, flax seed meal, chocolate chips, orange zest, possibilities are endless! Always comes out tasty.

This has been my go to banana bread recipe for years now. I have tweaked it with a tablespoon of black molasses and add 2 cups of mashed bananas for a moister bread. I also use dark brown sugar and leave out the nuts. Its delicious warm or cold add a hot custard sauce for dessert.. Yum! Make sure to let it cool completely before covering with plastic wrap or the top will go sticky.
