Wonderful recipe! I made banana bread and everyone loved it! This recipe is a keeper!
Great recipe! I didn’t have applesauce so used apple butter and it turned out great, moist, sweet, tasty. Thank you!
Muffins turned out great, love this recipe!!!
Made this recipe with banana, 1/2 the applesauce, 4 small, very ripe peaches, and raw cane sugar. Sent it to work with my husband and he said the muffins were gone in a flash!
These turned out great! All three teenagers and hubby loved them. I added one cup golden raisins and they thought they were apples. Thanks for the recipe!
Great Recipe! I used 1/2 cup apple butter and decreased the regular butter by 1/4 cup. I also added crushed walnuts and sprinkled some dried cranberries in (not a lot, just enough for a surprise every couple bites)!
Bundt cake variation here. Silicone pan. 50 min and check.
Overall this is absolutely the best banana bread I’ve ever had! I made it the first time as-is aside from subbing half of the cinnamon for pumpkin pie spice since I ran out. I made one loaf with regular all purpose flour for my neighbor and another at the same time with Bob’s Red Mill gluten free baking flour and both turned out DELICIOUS, although the centers of both loaves fell a bit (could be because I live at high elevation). Also, the loaf in the 10×5 pan (gluten free) was fine but the loaf in the 9×5 pan (regular) spilled over the sides, so I’d recommend using the larger loaf pan or putting some of the batter into a second baking dish. My neighbor said she couldn’t stop eating it and finished it in two days. I don’t bake very often, maybe once every month or two, but this was so delicious that I made it again a week later. This time I made muffins (gluten free) and I left out the 1/2 cup of white sugar. They are still wonderfully sweet but I can taste the caramelly banana flavor more. I didn’t have trouble with the centers falling this time, which is probably because of the smaller size. If I make it again as a loaf I will try adding a tablespoon or two of flour. I also added a half teaspoon of nutmeg and a quarter teaspoon of ginger to the tablespoon of cinnamon and I might add more next time, but that’s a personal preference. I absolutely recommend trying this recipe!
Everyone commented about how moist the are. Very good recipe
Super moist. Made a dozen regular size muffins and 18 mini muffins. The grandkids added a few white chocolate chips. I did bake them longer then the recipe called for. Will definitely make these again.
Wow this is a recipe for my favourite file. I never liked banana muffins but again wow. I added raisins and a cinnamon, maple brown sugar topping and they where a GIANT HIT.
They live up to the name. These were terrific and I’ll be making again, for sure. I used 3 large bananas, but didn’t measure. I used half of the quantity of white sugar, since I was using sweetened applesauce and I’m glad I did as they were perfect for us.
These are very moist and tasty! Definitely my new favorite!
I’ve made this several times, and even with changes, it comes out delicious! I’ve only made loafs rather than muffins. Some alternate changes… add 1 handful of walnuts. I’ve added a dash of clove, allspice & nutmeg, and it was sooo good. I rarely use applesauce because I have a ton of homemade apple butter that I have on hand. Anyway, this is a winner of a apple banana cake.
The muffins tasted amazing and one thing we would add is some more banana because we barely tasted it.
Made these for my little guy who loves them! A great finger food snack! Substituted the butter for more apple sauce (1 1/4 cups total or 3 of those snack sized ones because that’s what I had left in my fridge lol!) The batch made 24 mini’s and 9.5 regular muffins. Super moist, delicious and I was able to clean out my fridge a little!
I made a 1/2 recipe – very good! I added 3 T melted butter and 1 spoon of sour cream (I always have to change up recipes). I also added a couple of spoonfuls of granola. I didn’t add as much cinnamon as the recipe – it was all good!
Great recipe. Delicious and moist. Not a nut fun so just left those out. Bread pan bake took 50 mins in electric oven.
Deliciously moist! And flavorful! I put 1/4 c less total sugar and added 1/2 cup of raisins & 1/2 cup of chopped nuts. Yummy!
Super moist doesn’t need any changes!
It was delicious! I add a cup of chopped black walnuts. I also used 4 ounces of vegetable oil instead of the butter and only used 1/2 cup of applesauce. I used a teaspoon of cinnamon and 1/2 teaspoon of allspice. I made it in a large loaf pan and cooked it for 70 minutes. It was so moist and my husband and I loved it!
