Sandra, let me know if you try it out. I think the sour cream and pudding really make a difference but let me know what you think once you make it. I would love to have your recipe as well as I am always up for more banana bread recipes myself!

I will definitely have to try this one out – I love banana bread and I love one of my recipes in particular, but am always on the prowl for more banana bread goodness! :)

Letzbakem, so glad you made the recipe and enjoyed it! Doesn’t the pudding really add a ton of flavor? I think it puts it over the top!

Hazelbite, so funny that we have the exact same recipe for bb! I’m telling you, though, that the box of banana cream pudding mix makes all the difference in the world. Let me know if you give it a try!

Made this recipe last night, super yummy! I love the addition of pudding and sour cream, makes the bread so much creamier. Will be making this again soon!

My bread stuck to the bottom of the pan upon removing (and I even greased with butter & flour) – so, that was a bummer for me.

I will add less sugar next time, for even though I used sugar-free/fat-free vanilla pudding, it seemed awfully sweet for my taste.

I substituted one cup of whole wheat flour for the regular flour, as my 3-yr old is a picky eater and I try to add a bit of healthiness to these types of yummies.

This was a very dense, and very sweet banana bread – overall it was a very good recipe – thank you!
