I don't use any other recipe for banana bread now. This is comes out perfect every time and is more of a banana cake then a bread. Soooooo good with a cup of tea, mmmmmmm.... can't wait for the next batch of bananas to turn brown!

I have been making this recipe for months now since I discovered it. I was long in search of the the "best" banana bread recipe as nothing I found fit the bill...dry, course crumb, not enough flavor, etc. My goodness, this one is awesome - full of flavor and very moist. I always double the recipe and make at least a couple of loaves every week to meet the requests of my 4 boys. It is not uncommon for them to ask when I am making more, even before we finish eating what I have currently made. Over the months I have tweaked it by adding cinnamon, a little extra mashed banana, and some extra vanilla. (Extra banana amount varies with size of bananas - I don't ever throw extra banana away, just incorporate into recipe. It's generally not much and has never caused a problem.) I also sprinkle coarsely chopped walnuts on top of batter in loaf pan just prior to baking. You will not be disappointed.

Well, what can I say that hasn't already been said HUNDREDS OF TIMES!!!! Holy cow, this is a great recipe! I made muffins and I had to hide them from the family or they would have been eaten before nightfall! This is now my go-to banana bread/muffin recipe. So moist, so flavorful!

I have to type this review with one hand because I can't stop eating this AMAZING BREAD with the other!!! I used crushed pecans and baked in a 10x10 pan for 40 minutes. nom nom nom,,,

Right out of the oven, this banana bread is amazing! It is moist and flavorful. I used 3 large really ripe bananas which I am sure helped supply the intense flavor. I really like the addition of the sour cream. I did use chopped walnuts and I also usually add the overly ripe banana to the top of the mixer without a problem with it blending. I do love banana bread and I have tried many. This one stands head and shoulders above the rest.

Delicious! I love how the top crisps up for a bit of a crunch. I used 3 bananas and substituted plain yogurt for the sour cream. I will definitely be making this again!

I love this recipe and so do my co-workers. I use mini chocolate chips instead of nuts and bake as mini muffins. I get 40 using my cookie scoop to fill the tins. I'm making them now for a friend who wanted them so much, she brought me the bananas and chocolate chips!

Banana Bread is one of those staples that I constantly search for the perfect recipe...Well now I have found it! This Banana Bread is really moist and very flavorful. Everyone loved it! The recipe is great also because it is so easy. The only thing I did differently was to simply use 2 large bananas and throw them in pieces into the mixer. The mixer mashes them up for me.
