i have made 4 batches of this bread in the last week, i like to give homemade goodies for CHRISTMAS, this is the easiestbanana bread i have ever made i substitute vanilla for butter nut flavoring and add chopped nuts
I make this banana bread 3-4 times a month. It is delicious and very easy to make. I always have the ingredients in the house, so when we want something sweet and moist to eat I bake it.
I love Paula Deen but this recipie is a flop I made it twice and both times the bread come out like crap. the outside cooked and the inside fell and became big holes. Dont Make!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Maybe you had the oven on too hot? I’ve made about 10 loaves with this recipe and have never had a problem.
Don’t give up Damon and you did the right thing to send in a comment. Keep trying.
I’ve made it twice last week & fixing to prepare a 3rd time. It was moist, yummy & came out perfect. No problems.
Absolutely loved this recipe! It is now my go to recipe for Bananna Bread. I added 1/2 cup chopped black walnuts and before baking I sprinkled the top w/ dark brown sugar. Big hit with my family and friends. This will be one that I use as gifts at Christmas.
My old co-worker turned me onto this recipe and it’s a hit! I made 3 loaves for a bake sale and they went quick. Awesome and easy to make since you mix everything together!!
Absolutely the best and easiest banana bread recipe I have ever used. Love it!!!
I made this and used mini pans. I also doubled the recipe and used 5 bananas. I loved the way they came out. I really was worried about the other comments of not coming out good. I was worried I would be wasting my pantry stock on this. I am so happy with the way they came out. Moist, yummy, not burned. I would reccomend this to any body who is looking for a nut free bread.
The first time I made this bread I put the butter in the microwave to soften. Unfortunately, I forgot the butter all together! My daughters friends loved it as we sat on the front porch with tea and berries.
I decided to make it again–this time with the butter included.
Tasted very good but wondering if I liked the previous version better?!
Is that possible?
A co-worker brought a loaf in using this recipe and I was in love! She doubled the recipe to 6 bananas and let it cook longer but it was so good. I use 4 bananas and cook it at exactly 50 minutes and it was great!
