"In my opinion, this is the absolute best banana bread out there. I got it through a mail order recipe club called "Grandma's Kitchen". It is so easy to make, and it seems like everyone always has some ripening bananas that they're trying to get rid of!"

This is the best recipe by far. I've been making this banana bread for years...I'm not even sure where I found the recipe. Sometimes I add pecans, sometimes I don't...it's a hit either way...even my picky husband likes it! I'm going to make a loaf today! Sooooo good!

I was frantic just now thinking I lost my handwritten recipe of this, only to find it on the internet. This recipe is the only recipe you will ever need for fabulous banana bread. It’s so good, moist and flavorful. Remember, the darker/riper the banana, the better the bread. Enjoy.

I too have been making this bread for years. For so long that food.com was still Recipezaar. 2009 I printed this out and it is by far the most flavorful, moist bread ever. I always double the recipe and always add 1/2 cup of semi sweet chocolate chips per loaf. Deeeelicious! As a matter of fact I just whiped out 4 loaves. House smells amazing!!

I have been using this recipe for 10 years and it turns out perfect every time! I even substitute whole wheat flour for 3/4 out of the 1 and 3/4 of all-purpose flour and my two daughters love having this for breakfast!

I had found another recipe as well and could not decide which to try out. Since I had enough bananas I decided to make them both. This one won by a long run on moistness and flavor. However, I did not have the heavy cream so I substituted sour cream for that and added 1/2 cup of chocolate chips. Man 'o man how I ran with this pan!! THANK YOU, Juju!

This was a delicious recipe. I've never really gotten banana bread to turn out - I was never sure if my bananas weren't good or I'm somehow banana-bread challenged, but this turned out great. I did have to make a somewhat creative substitution when I realized I didn't have cream and it was too late to get some, I used 1/2 milk and 1/2 sour cream in place of cream. It turned out very well and was melt-in-your-mouth good.

This turned out wonderfully even though I took great liberties with the ingredients. Since I'm a vegan, I substituted the egg & the egg white with 2 tbsps of ground flax mixed with 1 cup hot water, and used a thickish brand of soymilk for the heavy cream. The recipe took the revisions very well and the result was a very yummy pan of banana bread.
