I changed the flour out for gluten-free oat flour, very moist and light in texture. Best gluten-free banana bread ever. 350′ for 68 mins in convection oven.
Best banana loaf I have ever tried. Recommend to everyone
Absolutely wonderful in every way. So simple my wife was amazed. I used just a little less sugar although some may not want that.I had to take out a little earlier though. Around 55 min not an hour but that’s my oven probably. I’m going to try as another person said whole wheat flour and brown sugar next time. Not traditional i realize but what the heck.
Great but never ever would I use cooking spray.
I added a glaze to the the top raisins and extra cinnamon to my version
I load it up. Choc Chips and Raisins Best ever! I often leave the nuts out and still great.
This was so amazing and very easy. Will use this recipe over and over.
I was blown away by the lightness of this bread! While it had a heft when I pulled it from the oven, the first bite I took was so incredibly airy. My changes were: whole wheat flour instead of AP, brown sugar instead of white, and some vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Absolutely delicious and a perfect accompaniment to teatime!
I made this today, came out perfect. Thanks for recipe!!!
We love this. Made it many, many times by wow. My kids fav banana bread.
put more nuts
I doubled the recipe and made two loaves. I added about 1/2 cup of ground flax seeds in place of 1/2 cup of the flour. I did not add nuts because my family doesn’t like them and I added about 2 extra bananas but they weren’t very large so it was fine. I also used 1 cup of coconut sugar and 1 cup of regular white sugar. I baked the two loaves for 70 total minutes. It turned out DELICIOUS!!
Used pecans and baked in a Bundt pan baking at 325 for 40 min. Added a vanilla glaze. Perfectly moist
So easy and the whole family loved it! Thank you!
Easy to follow, very good loaf. Used candied peel instead of nuts. Still very tasty!
Baked it twice and each time was absolutely perfect
yes! changes were using brown sugar.. turned out good,
I add chocolate chips. Works great as mini loaves or muffins. Takes about 25 minutes to bake that way.
The recipe is spot on. Came out great. Only addition was a teaspoon of vanilla extract. My kids love the sweet stuff, so it was mainly for them. Just what I was looking for.
Added 1/4 cup of vanilla Greek yogurt and some nutmeg – swapped the nuts for chocolate chips
My go-to banana bread recipe. I swapped out 1 cup white sugar with 1/2 brown + 1/2 white sugar as mentioned by someone here.
