Most excellent! I didn’t have the butter, but used maragarine and it still turned out fabulous! My boys are crazy for it. Thanks!

I tried this recipe today. It is now only 12:41 and they are almost gone. My grandsons inhaled them. This recipe is a keeper.

Oh,my gosh! Made this banana bread last night and brought it to work this morning. Have been looking for a banana bread recipe that I LOVE for years, and this is it. Had to check the other comments before I made it to make sure it really didn’t have any eggs, but after being assured that there was nothing left out, went ahead and made it. So glad I did! Delicious!!

This is seriously in the top five of Best Things I Have Ever Baked. I did replace 1/2 cup of butter with applesauce, and then used Butter Crisco to balance out the added liquid (I always feel a little weird telling someone I changed his/her recipe lol). Awesome bread – I always have make double batches because it goes so fast!
