I noticed that my bananas had gone bad and rather than throw them out went rooting through Tsty Kitchen to find a banana bread recipe with basic ingredients I had around the house. This was it. I am so glad I found this! This bread is delicious, simple and all around perfect. I hope my next banana purchase is big enought that more go over ripe… time to make more bread!

Loved this banana bread- had to add nuts for my husband and I did cut the sugar in half- the first batch I made was a little too sweet for our taste- but it still turned out terrific even with the sugar cut in half. I also used greek yogurt with honey in place of the butter in the second batch just to see how it would work and it was really moist.

Absolutely wonderful! I made this into muffins with a little cinnamon sugar ribbon in each. They made a perfect quick breakfast or snack. My 9 year old and all her little friends were raving! I definitely will be making this again!

I got this recipe from my daughter-in-law after she served it to us one day. She is a great cook, so I wondered if I could make it without it failing (I love to cook, but tend to fail more than succeed). Thrilled with how quick and easy this is to mix and how you can do pretty much everything with one bowl! The best part is how tasty this recipe is. Since it is just my husband and I, usually I make this into muffins and freeze them. I have tweaked a few things…I use whole wheat and white flour, I add some oatmeal and do 1/2 and 1/2 with white and light brown sugar. The original recipe can’t be beat! My recipe adds a little more fiber.
