I also say “dentention” center – LOL – slip of the fingers. You know what I mean…

One of the officers at the dentention center where I teach asked me to make “that good banana nut bread you bake.” Of course, it is your fabulous recipe using 7 bananas.

Now, living in the south I didn’t scrimp on the pecans – I really made this batch nutty.

The officer asked me, “Do you say pea-cans? ….or, do you say pee-cons like the Yankess say it? I say the “pea-cans’ so I fit in!!

Well…… this is just plain disappointing. Not terrible, but not good either.
After baking and baking for almost 2 HOURS, waiting for the middle to set and the knife to come out clean, it is still mushy throughout. The top is toasted, chewy, and dark from baking it so long (even though I covered it with foil to prevent over browning and moisture loss). The middle is a dense mush.
Now, this may be the culprit: I halved the recipe for just one loaf, which called for 3.5 bananas. I used about 4 instead, since I had to get rid of it anyhow. Perhaps that slight increase in moist ingredient is what caused the bread to not fluff up and absorb enough moisture for it to set? That’s what I’m thinking.
But I also tasted the bread just now…. and it’s just…. alright :/ so all in all…. no good for me! First time making Banana Nut Bread, and it was a fail!

Absolutely wonderful bread! Thanks to the reviewer that wrote about making one loaf and muffins…I did the same and it came out great! (Well, except for the fact that the kids are fighting over the last two muffins :/) This is my new standard for banana bread!

I had an overload of bananas in my freezer and am so glad I found a recipe where I could use all of them (actually used 8). The bread is super moist and I love that it makes 2 loaves. Since I have a toddler who isn’t ready for nuts yet, I used 1/2 amount of nuts and only added them to the second loaf.

Great recipe and will definitely make it again!

Made the bread this morning to have as our afternoon snack. Let’s just say I’m glad it makes 2 loaves! My 2 year old LOVED it! I added 1/2 the nuts and only to the second loaf so that she could eat it. Great recipe! Thanks for sharing!
