    This is delicious! I took the suggestion of others and reduced the sugar to 1/2 cup, and it was plenty. I love that it doesn't have butter, so it is not greasy at all. Whipping the eggs and sugar make it light and fluffy. Really will make it again!!!

    This is our "go-to" banana bread recipe and it turns out perfect every time. You really couldn't ask for anything better!

    This recipe is an absolute winner but ... I own the Flour cook book and that recipe calls for less flour! 1 and 1/2 cup vs. 1 and 2/3 - I did the 1 & 1/2 cup - baked a little less time - perfection. Also, my niece has made this many times and recommended I up the cinnamon - which I did to about 1 teaspoon. I also dusted top with cinnamon sugar before baking. I made a triple recipe (had tons of overripe bananas - Costco - worked out just fine! Made 3 8" loaves, then one large loaf in 9x5.

    Excellent and easy recipe... coming from someone who rarely bakes! The loafs came out super moist and delicious. Following the advice of others, I decreased the oil to 1/3 C, used blueberry yogurt instead of creme fraiche/sour cream because I had that in the fridge and cut down the sugar to 1/3 C (will cut it down further next time. After baking the full hour, the loafs came out perfect (recipe was doubled.

    This is a great recipe! As other people have said, it has a great texture and flavor. When comparing it to other recipes I've used, this one has less flour and more banana, so it makes perfect sense that it's more flavorful! I used some whole wheat pastry flour in place of some of the all-purpose and I also used coconut oil. Next time I think I'll reduce the sugar a little (maybe 3/4 cup, because it was a tad sweet for my taste.

    I usually don't like banana bread, but I had some over-ripe bananas so I thought I'd make a banana bread and take it in to work. This one never made it out of the house - it is the only banana bread I love and I could eat the whole thing!
    I followed the recipe exactly (used sour cream, don't keep creme fraiche around, and made it once in a loaf pan, and a few times in a classic Bundt pan. The Bundt pan needs the lower end of the cooking time, closer to 45 minutes, but I recommend checking it at about 35-40 minutes, depending on your oven.
    I keep thinking, since I made it as a Bundt, that a melted Nutella glaze would just make it even more divine! Next time...

    This recipe is absolutely delicious, I have made this banana bread at every party I have and it's a hit every single time. I have to say I put my little twist and turn on it but hands-down delicious.
