delicious and easy to make
I was happy to find a breakfast type bread that is not too sweet & hardy enough to eat with coffee. I thought this would be the one. I read reviews and took the advise of one reviewer & added an egg. I could have added 2 eggs & maybe some applesauce to make it more moist. I won’t be making this again.
I made this as muffins. I added a cup of cranberries and 1/2 cup brown sugar to offset the tartness of cranberries. Delicious!
Made it as the recipe said, subbing white flour for whole-wheat. It definitely needs salt. It’s really bland without any strong taste of either cornbread or banana bread. I may tweak it and try again, though.
Like other reviewers I made a couple of the suggested changes… added a half cup of brown sugar and an egg. It was delicious and I felt it deserved a 5 because it was a recipe I found by searching 2 ingredients that you wouldn’t normally find together: bananas and cornmeal. I didn’t expect to find anything, but I not only found this recipe, I was pleasantly surprised by the uncommon taste and texture of the combination. Thank you!
I might suggest how to “treat” crumbliness: 1 cup of cornmeal mix with 1 cup of buttermilk and let it stand for 15-20 mins. then mix your other ingredients according to your recipe, but 1/2 cup of milk has to omitted in that case.
I have this exact recipe in my cookbook A Celebration of Wellness.. I just love this recipe…
I added lite maple syrup instead of honey and about half a cup of brown sugar and it still was not sweet. It was somewhat crumbly as others mentioned because of the gritty cornbread texture. I should have put 3 bananas in the mixture also, rather than 2, but I won’t make the recipe again anyway.
Excellent! I made the following changes based on reviews: Used 3 mashed banana Used AP flour Subbed 4 tbsp Splenda for Honey Added 1/4 C applesauce Very Moist and nicely sweet. Enjoy!
This is an AWESOME and healthy recipe! However semicolon I read all the reviews in advance and made what I believe are the necessary changes to make this a win/win no matter what. -I added 1 egg and 1 cup of crushed pineapple -I doubled the honey and cinnamon The addition of the crushed pineapple added the needed moisture to keep the bread from becoming dry AND made the end product something with an easy shelf life of a few days.
I changed it al little 3 mashed bananas, 1 egg and 1/2 C brown sugar…very good but not sweet enough for the hubby
Great recipe for a change from Banana Oatmeal Muffins. This recipe make 6 jumbo muffins perfectly. I added a half teaspoon of salt as we like it better that way.
I just mashed 3 bananas together and didn’t use a blender at all. I also replaced milk with coconut milk, 1/4 cup of coornmeal witn corn flour and added 1/2tsp of salt. I was a bit worried about this bread, because it turned such a rich brown color, but the result was very good. This bread has a crunchy texture due to cornmeal and walnuts, but it gets some moisture from bananas and oil, so it works out pretty good together. It tastes good the next day too. We will be making it again. Thank you!
Good when fresh but is dry after being frozen.
Absolutely LOVE this recipe!!! The only change I made was using agave nectar instead of honey and coconut oil instead of veg oil. I also added 1/2 cup of homemade applesauce. But the recipe is outstanding. Nice and healthy and filling. I was also able to get more servings that what is listed since it is so filling.
This is pretty good. I did the recipe exactly as written except I did 3 bananas instead of 2 since I had 3 that were getting ready to go bad. It isn’t very sweet, but it is hardy and a nice change from sweet morning breads.
Recipe was OK. Doubled the recipe and baked in a 9X13 inch pan for 40 minutes. Flavor was a little weird and texture was more on the dry and crumbly side. I did add 2 heaping tbs of sour cream and extra 1/4 cup of milk and 1/4 cup oil to the recipe. I gave the recipes three stars because I was able to use up old bananas and had run out of eggs. It was actualy good warmed with butter and drizzled with extra honey. (By itself, with no extras – not so good). Will not be making thi sagain.
wonderful mix of cornbread and banana bread! like one of the other reviews i just couldn’t pick. wonder why i didn’t think of baking both.
I made this recipe to get rid of the black bananas I had in my freezer. Loved the bits of banana in the bread. I did not use walnuts, I was out. I did not use an egg like some of the other raters suggested. It was moist and delicious.
Made as muffins- yummy, but a little dry.
Made just a few minor changes. Used an egg as recommended. Also used white flour. Baked 50 min in a loaf pan. Sliced up without problems. I like the less sweet taste of this loaf. When making it again I would add a bit of salt to the recipe and try the whole wheat flour.
