This is no joke…..this HAS to be the BEST banana bread on the face of God’s green earth. Or at least in the northern hemisphere. Or at least in the continental states. OK, OK….at least for SURE in my household. If you like banana bread, and even if you don’t, you HAVE to try this recipe. Thanks for sharing this with us!

WOW!!! The most amazing banana bread ever! Thank you so much for sharing your recipe. This will for sure be a keeper in my cookbook

My husband and I both loved this recipe – I did use the splenda versions of sugars so that the caloric content was a bit lower – but was awesome regardless!

This is a truly wonderful version of banana bread. Very moist and the streusel topping makes it extra delicious. Next time I make this recipe, I plan to sugar the pan with the topping too. Oh, I was out of sour cream so used Greek yogurt, and it came out just wonderfully.

This was really was ‘extra special’ banana bread! I am not a huge banana bread fan, but had some bananas I needed to use up. This is the best I’ve ever had by a long shot!

Absolutely delicious. I added some chopped walnuts and doubled the cinnamon because I was out of nutmeg. Best I’ve ever made! Thanks for the great recipe.

Yeah… this is gonna be my new go-to… for days when I have sour cream in the fridge at least

Very good but I would half the nutmeg next time. It was a bit spicy. Loved the topping and it was very moist.

I wound up with 4 bananas, which I feared may have made the dough/batter a little wet, so I added about a 1/4 c more flour. Turned out to be perfect – like a wicked combination between banana bread and a spice cake. YuhMeeeeeee!

I’ve used the same Betty Crocker Banana Bread recipe for over 20 years. It is my absolute favorite banana bread.
I had a ton of bananas in my freezer from the markdown section and was prepared to replace my standby recipe. I wanted to *love* this recipe.
However, I questioned it as soon as I noticed there was more sugar (2 C) than flour (1.5 C). I soon realized after the first batch of muffins came out that this recipe, while moist, is syrupy sweet and sticky. I ended up adding quite a bit more flour to the remainder of the batter and feel like I wasted lots of bananas and several hours of my time.

Yeowza! Didn’t know my banana bread was going to be so controversial! Thanks everyone for trying it and reviewing it!
sarabicky – yeah, 4 bananas would be too much (when I adapted this recipe, it actually called for 2 and I already bumped it up to 3 because I like banana!). Glad you had the smarts to add extra flour!
hippiemama – sorry you wasted your time! But this banana bread is definitely supposed to be sweet. I’m not going for regular bread here! And the porportions of sugar to flour are correct. It’s a lot, yes, but again – I’m not going for bland bread, it’s meant to be a sweet dessert loaf!
Thanks again ladies for posting!

My whole family (mom, dad, hubs) LOVED this. Even I, a banana bread hater, thought it was amazing. Love how moist it is, but I did need to cut back on the sugar. Too many love handles as it is.

I liked this a lot. I cut the recipe in half, but used 2 bananas that were somewhat large. Made it really gooey, so I’d probably use the tip to add a bit extra flour next time. I doubled the amount of streusel on top, and everyone really liked. Will make this again.

This was delicious! I did think that 2 cups of sugar to 1 1/2 cups flour was a little much, so instead I did 1 1/2 cups sugar and 2 cups flour. It only took my oven 50 minutes to bake both loaves. I will definitely make this one again!

Just got done with this recipe. Bread is Goooood. Super Easy too. Recipe also worked good AS IS for High Altitude. Thanks!

This was great…definitely not for muffins or your every day breakfast, but an awesome treat that I’ll make again.

Super yummy! Mine came out a lot darker than the pic but it was soo good! I had intended on giving one loaf to a friend, but it never made it!!
