Great Recipe!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I read the reviews before making this recipe and tried it as printed and then added some variations of my own. FABULOUS!... Instead of plain shortening I used the butter flavored version which added a nice richness to the recipe. I also added 1 chopped banana at the end to add some texture. I used a teaspoon of vanilla extract and it came out so moist and flavorful!! Great recipe!!Read more

Great Recipe!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Very easy to make and very delicious. After the first time I made it i found that the banana flavor wasn't enough for me, but... I'm a banana freak. That is what is good about this recipe though, you can change it a little to suit you. Say you like yours a little more nutty, just add some nuts. I would stick to the recipe for the most part though. Enjoy!Read more

So Easy; So Good
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I loved how easy it was to throw all the ingrediants together, toss in the oven and forget about it. I needed to bake a bit... longer than the reciepe called for but then again my oven is a little outdated... Came out moist and delicious with a creamy butter spread and a cup of coffee. I tend to like very sweet and would have liked more punch to the banana flavor, but will do it again and just add a little more. It's a must for you weekly banana buyers that always seem to throw the last few away by weeks end. Awesome!Read more

Great Recipe
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I could not find my recipe so I used this one and it is very easy, I used 3 large bananas and waluts and added Vanilla and a... splash of almond extract, It was very good and very moist, but I did bake it in two loaf pans and for only 40 minutes. This is a great recipe, try it you will love it.Read more

The flavor is great! I followed some of the suggestions using applesauce. It was almost too moist. I also added 3 bananas,... blended it into the batter then added one more only diced and folded it in.(might have led to the over moist issue) BUT, fantastic flavor. Thanks for all the tips!Read more
