This side dish will go well with most proteins because it is mildly spicy and garlicky. I just cooked this for 10 minutes because I like our vegetables a little crispy. This can be used in several meals, but I really suggest 1 packet per person.

Everyone raves when I make this, I use organic flour. I will be experimenting with other organic/gourmet ingredients. But thank you, I know also its the sour cream, first time baking with sour cream. Thanks for posting this one, Janet!
came out perfectly! i used a cup of mashed bananas instead of sliced ones,, the scent of banana bread wafting in the kitchen brought everyone in,, added chocolate chips,,
The best banana bread recipe out there.
This has been a staple in my fall baking calendar ever since I stumbled upon the recipe. I add pecans and cinnamon to mine and it is absolutely delicious.
I use this recipe all the time. sometimes I add a little bit of cinnamon just because I want to. It is craved by my teacher friends.
This is the most moist banana bread I’ve ever made. Check it early so it doesn’t over bake. My didn’t take the entire hour.
This makes the most wonderfully moist and tasty bread.
I’ve made this more times than I can count. Excellent every time. I just put some in the oven. This time I added some crushed pineapple. My grandmother used to make a cake with bananas and pineapple in it, and no icing. This has to be just as good. Yes, there’s nuts in it too. I can’t wait !
Excellent recipe. I make it all the time for family and friends.
So easy and so delicious. I used pecans because I had no walnuts. Also, I may reduce the sugar next time. But it was most definitely delicious as is.
DELICIOUS and INCREDIBLY easy to make! Your friends and family will think you are a consummate baker. Thank you for this recipe.
I have to give this recipe 5 stars even though I modify it a bit. It’s excellent also without changes. Here’s what I do different. 1. Double the recipe and use 3 glass bread dishes. Bake for less than 60 minutes- about 50-55. Keep an eye on it when it starts to brown. 2. Add 1 teaspoon of baking powder – double that amount if doubling the recipe. 3. Add 1/4 teaspoon pumpkin spice. 4. Use 5 bananas- I mash them always. 5. Add 2 teaspoons of lemon juice. (Again this is for doubled amount) Like I said – either way is excellent I just like mine less dense and with the pumpkin spice. Makes for a yummy fall snack. Tip: freeze bananas when they are super ripe. They keep a long time in the freezer. When you want to use them they will be watery but just dump all of it in the recipe – this also avoids the need to mash because they will just stir right in!
Really GREAT banana bread recipe!!
My go to banana bread recipe. I’ve also made it with three bananas and either regular or mini chocolate chips.
I don’t know how to make very much so I tried this recipe based on how easy it looked. I doubled the recipe and made mini loaves to take to work, now everyone at work keeps asking me when I will make it again. I’ve made it several times now using gluten free flour instead and it comes out just as great. This is the only recipe I will ever use for banana bread again.
I made it and it was great! I added a teaspoon of baking powder and baked it in an 8 x 8 glass pan for 40 minutes. Next time – I’ll smash the bananas more as the texture of the larger bits was a bit much. Thanks for the recipe!
I lost my Aunts recipe. This is a very good substitute. Will continue to make it.
Always delish!!
I’ve made this a bunch of times. Always getting asked for the recipe. Consistently great results
I love this recipe easy and delicious home made bread!
I made this banana bread last night. It came out very good! I followed (naples34102) suggestions and tweaked it a bit. This will be my go-to recipe from now on.
