Didn’t make any changes . It was DECELICIOUS ! I like this recipe cause it was very simple and used everyday ingredients which i had on hand !

I had only 2 eggs, but had lots of overripe bananas, so I thought I’d give this one a try and I’m glad I did! It was a nice, most bread that wasn’t overly sweet. I shared it with my neighbors and they enjoyed it as well. The cooking time was 20 minutes more for me and I used the loaf pan size in the recipe. I would recommend this recipe!

I doubled recipe did 2 cups oats 2 cups flour for more fiber and less heaviness. Also use a dash of vanilla cinnamon and chunks of candied ginger
Justin Nelson
A simple and easy to follow recipe. I had two bananas that were just about to get tossed, so it was simple for me to adjust this recipe.

Did NOT enjoy this recipe. measurements were not correct. it didn’t start with a good consistency and was mushy and uncooked even tho i left it longer then the tine limit needed. would not recommend trying this.

I always use this recipe when our bananas are overripe. Best recipe and a big success for my family. It always “disappears” in a day 😉
Mackenzie Patterson
It’s very heavy not very airy like I expected. Flavor is definitely there
Angela Anderson
I changed the recipe around a bit, I replaced All-purpose Flour w/ Whole Grain Flour. I replaced sugar w/ 1/3 Swerve and 1/3 Honey, which made it less sweet and the honey gave it some moisture. My kids loved it. Thanks for the recipe!

This is a great recipe if you like true banana BREAD. It is sweet but not cake sweet. It has a thicker bread consistency which I prefer. I did not add the nuts. The key is to not over mix. If you mix it too much it will not turn out properly. Do NOT use a mixer. Mix with a spatula or dough blender just until there is no more dry flour. Yummy!!!

I made 1/2 batch and also put in 1 tbsp mayonnaise and chopped 5 maraschino cherries instead of nuts and added 1 tsp of cherry juice used muffin pan instead of loaf pan makes 8 muffins they turned out GREAT also cooked for 15 mins too long and it gets dry
Jennifer Barry
Wonderful and dense. Easy to make and a great breakfast item.
Madison Mcguire
It came out a little burnt after cooking it for 55 min
David Smith
This was disappointing. It wasn’t moist, and definitely not sweet enough. The crust was rubbery. Won’t make it again. What a waste when ingredients are so difficult to find during COVID-19.
Jacqueline Gutierrez
Chewy, dense,
Nicole Dominguez
This was too dense. Very good smelling and the taste was good banana flavor, but there are too many bananas for the recipe. Cut it back to 2 or 2-1/2 and this might be good. I found other recipes that are almost the same ingredients that use 2-1/3 bananas (haven’t tried yet, tbh). It is almost there — tweak it a little.
