This is a family favorite. We tweaked the basic recipe and this is one of the first things that I learned to bake. It is wonderfully moist and great fresh from the oven with butter or cream cheese.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Mix all dry ingredients together in large bowl.
Mix wet ingredients together in separate bowl.
Add wet ingredients to dry and mix until dry ingredients are moistened, making sure to scrape the sides thoroughly.
Grease two bread pans and evenly divide batter between pans. Bake for 45-60 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
Remove to a cooling rack and allow to cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes. Remove from the pan to the rack to finish cooling.
Note: I sometimes do these in mini-loaf pans or muffin pans. Reduce cooking time to 30-45 minutes for smaller pans.

Being a HUGE FAN of banana nut bread, but only having had a few good ones, I searched to find a great recipe. May I just say, this bread is AMAZING! Oh man, the two loaves quickly dwindled to one loaf and now I am finding myself making two more loaves. Thank you SO much for sharing. I give this 5 stars (or 5 mitts)!!!!

I have thrown coconut in it before too. That is good but I LOVE coconut.
I have also been known to use banana baby food when I didn’t have any ripe bananas!

Delicious bread. I didn’t have coconut extract and was going to add a handful of coconut, but forgot to add it. I think the extract would add a definite “tropical” dimension. I will make these again using the extract.

This is THE BEST banana bread I have ever had. And this sentiment was shared by quite a few people. I followed the recipe with two exceptions…I didn’t have coconut flavoring (but I probably wouldn’t have used it anyway) and I only had 1/4 cup of oil in the pantry so I used 1/4 cup of mayonaise (!) along with it!! This recipe made 6 mini loafs and 2 dozen muffins. Thank you so much for sharing.
