So easy to make and if you have a Kitchen Aid mixer, the 10 minute egg/sugar beating time is nothing! First time making banana flavored ANYTHING and it turned out great. Didn't have a loaf pan so I used my nordic ware non-stick bundt pan and it was ready in 40 minutes. Thanks to non-stick baking spray, the cake popped right out and I cut into it -- delicious!

Absolutely delicious and easy to make.
However I had to cook it for at least 20 minutes more. Maybe this is due to my oven not being optimal. However the result was the best banana bread I never had as it was not dry but moist and tasty.

A great base banana bread recipe and worth the extra fluffing involved. I always have to make a few mods. No disrespect to the cook at all but for some reason I cannot follow a recipe. I added a tablespoon of chia and flax seeds, used a half cup natural sugar (powdered it using my vita-bullet instead of white. As well as used organic whole wheat pastry flower instead of all purpose white. I added 1/4 cup chopped almonds and organic dark choc. chips. I didn't have baking soda so I used extra baking powder (aluminum free instead. I used less oil because I only had olive and used one more banana, poured it all into a 8x8 square glass cake pan which was slightly overfilled and baked longer than she mentions.
