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.

Maybe you had the oven on too hot? I’ve made about 10 loaves with this recipe and have never had a problem.

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!!
