I keep trying banana bread recipes; I have yet to find one to be my go to recipe – and this one is the winner!! The search is over – it was quick, easy and the best tasting one. The family took a bite and said this one is really good, what did I do?

I did not make any changes – unusual – as this one seemed to have all of the right ingredients. Saved and I look forward to seeing what else you have to share!

Oh – I did try the banana muffins – they rocked as well! Another winner.

In reply to Earl. Hi Earl! I account for any moisture in the butter when I made the bread. The amount is so minimal I don't think it would really make a huge difference. I hope you love the bread! :)

In reply to Hayley. curious question, since the water content could be counter productive in the butter, could there be benefit if the butter was browned, in either moisture and/or flavor, any thoughts. and I too appreciate the measurements inside the instructions as well, a big thank you for that

I plan on making the recipe tonight.
But you get an automatic 5 stars solely due to the fact that you included the measurements within the instructions!! You have no idea how much I appreciate not having to scroll up and down in the middle of baking. (First world problems)

In reply to Rachel. Hi Rachel! This recipe has enough moisture from the bananas and oil, so the milk wasn't necessary here

Hi Sam, just wondering why this recipe doesn’t use milk?

In reply to Tessa.

Hi Tessa! Do you know if the glass pan was a true 9×5″ in size? I’m wondering if it’s smaller and that was why it overflowed. I don’t think it’s from not flouring it.

This tastes sooo good, but it rose a lot while baking and spilled out of the pan. I cleaned it up a bit and it baked fine afterwards, but all of the edges were burnt and the bread was extremely soft (not raw) and crumbly, it fell apart when I took it out of the pan. Do you know what I should’ve done differently?

I did use a glass pan and just greased it, didn’t use flour on the sides.

It was delicious when warm from the oven and now even better the next day. I used 1/2 cup chocolate chips and 1/2 cup of finely diced walnuts. I used Turbinardo sugar on top and it added a nice crunchy texture to the soft moist bread. 65 minutes in the oven was perfect for me.

Have used this recipe dozens of time, full loaves or minis. So easy, no electronic devices needed. This recipe is delicious! Everyone loves this bread. I use 1/2 cup mini chips and some times include walnuts. Wonderful to eat toasted or not.

In reply to uuegavgkfzwyccwzrw@sdvft.com. It will need to bake longer, hard to say exactly how long without having tried it but keep an eye on it.

Hi, do we have to make any adjustments when making this dish with a glass pan? I don’t have a metal pan.
