Reviews
i made some tasty banana bread. I was specifically looking for a banana bread that used carrots as i had some to use up and this didn’t disappoint. i only made a few tweaks. i added some extra spices that compliment cinnamon (cardamom & nutmeg), vanilla and instead of walnuts i used chocolate chips for a chocolate flavour. it worked out very nice.
I added some raisins and cut back a little on the brown sugar so it wasn’t so sweet. I made this in a 9×9 baking pan and baked it in our Cuisinart oven at 325 degrees for 20 minutes. It came out a little browner on the top, but still good. It’s definitely a keeper.
Really good I grate the carrots finely to make it extra moist
Awesome recipe. I didn’t have brown sugar so I used 1 cup of white sugar with 1 tbs of molasses
We loved this! I also made some changes based on reviews. I added 2 eggs and sprinkled the top with cinnamon and sugar before baking. I did the two loaves as called for. It does make a relatively small loaf but it was perfect for my family’s needs.
I like the recipe and will bake it again.
Made the recipe, turned out horrible! No flavour, batter was so dense it came out after baking it for ages. So disappointing after all that effort
Delicious. I only had 2 bananas so I added and egg and 1 tsp of vanilla like other recommendations said.
This bread was Excellent! I substituted 1/2 the butter for coconut oil and it turned out perfect! Next time I will try to do it with all the butter to make it dairy free.
First time made with pecans. It was so yummy it didn’t last a day. I’m making it again with walnuts & hoping it’s as good as last week’s.
Next time I think I’d make a slightly bigger batch. It calls for 8×4 bread pans, but mine are 9×5. So my loaves came out very short. But that’s not the recipe’s fault, that’s mine for using the wrong pans. Next time I’ll just beef it up and make 50% more batter. Oh and I added a cup of raisins. Yum. And I went hevy on the cinnamon (used twice as much). Very moist. Family loves it. Good recipe. =)
This bread was very moist and people loved it and asked for the recipe. I added raisins to it as well.
Made the bread. Followed the recipe to the letter. It called for two 8 x 4 loaf pans. Loaves came out about 2 inches high. Very dense and heavy. Did the toothpick test, which tested done and the bread had pulled away from the sides of the pan. That says done to me. It was the worst bread ever. Would never make it again. Even the flavor was terrible!
Very moist! Turned out just like the pictures. The consistency was dry so I added another banana. I also substituted dark chocolate for the walnuts. Turned out great!
My husband loved it. very moist. Delicious!
We liked it. I omitted the walnuts due to an allergy and made it in one pan. The dough is very thick but the end product is very moist and tasty.
Mine turned out moist and delicious, though a little dense. I might try modifying the receipe a bit next time to get it to rise a bit more.
No eggs, no oil, this was done exactly as recipe called for. It was awful. Carrots and bananas in this recipe didn’t go together!! I think she left out the main ingredients eggs and oil!
Turned out great. I was out of ap and used bread flour and cashews instead of walnuts. Next time I will add All spice as I prefer a more spicy bread. Bananas were small to medium which worked great. Used carrot pulp from the juicer. Next time I will add 50% more.
I didn’t get a strong taste of carrots or bananas. I used some of the suggestions in reviews. Added 1 egg for moisture , sprinkled super fine sugar on top of muffins(made about 18) Not sure what would be good to bring out the favors
Batter was so dry- added 2 eggs as recommended- was still quite thick, and had to spread it into corners of pan. It baked up nicely, bready textures bit dry. And not as sweet as cake. We just ate ours warm with ice cream! Delightful!
