Moist & Delicious Banana Nut Bread

Moist & Delicious Banana Nut Bread

Prep:20minCook:1h

I got this recipe when I was 12 and have used it for the past 33 years and haven't found one better! My son used it when he was 12 at the California State Fair and won a first place ribbon with it. It is just simply delicious & moist. I either make a loaf or put it into muffin cups & make muffins for my kids to grab in the morning on their way to school. Using margarine makes the muffins come out in a better form, but the butter has a better flavor, so I usually use 1/2 of each to get the best of both worlds.

I didn't add nuts as not allowed those. Also didn't use milk. I replaced butter with smooth peanut butter, tastes amazing if I may say so myself lol 😆 😋 😅

No surprises. Traditional

So good. I used 1/2 c sugar, 1/2 c coconut sugar and substituted almond milk for milk

This took way longer than time listed, also only had 1 egg left but that turned out fine. Very good!!!

I agree with the others who reduced the sugar. I used 1 cup of sugar and added an extra half banana that needed to be used up, and it was the right amount of sweetness I was looking for.

Way too much sugar. Very tasty but it's very crumbly due to the sugar

Mel· last year

Put half of the sugar and it was perfect!

This banana bread is really good but if you make it into a loaf instead of the muffins then cooking it for about 40 min should do the trick!

Turned out great! I made it in a different circular dish and I added a bit less sugar and one extra banana to the recipe. Quite crispy on the outside but very nice and moist on the inside. Definitely recommend.

I used my Pampered Chef Large muffin pan, took 35 mins total to bake. They came out perfectly! Ok, I made a 2nd batch 2 days later. I made some modifications. 2 cups of bananas, 1 cup of chopped pecans, and 1 & 3/4th cup of sugar. Ooh, and about half a cup of chocolate chips. My Pampered Chef muffin pan handled these muffins like a champ.

Needs spices. I added a teaspoon of cinnamon and also some Chinese Five Spice and Pumpkin Pie spice.

It wasn't as good as many banana breads I have made in the past, but not terrible.

I made the recipe just as the instructions said but modified it based on a couple of reviewers' notes: (1) I used 3/4 cup of brown sugar instead of the full serving of white sugar (this gave a mild sweetness), and (2) when baking time reached 35 minutes, I began using a tootpick test every two minutes until there was no more gooeyness in the center. Total baking time for me at 350 in a one loaf pan was 43 minutes. The bread was spongy and overall great tasting.

Under 30 minutes

first time making it and overbaked a tad, so it ended up dry :( but otherwise a very simple recipe and definitely worth trying!

This was hands down the best BNB recipe I've ever made & I've been baking for 40 years.

This is the best banana cake recipe I have ever tried, hands down! I did use a lot less sugar and also replaced it with coconut sugar to make it healthier and I also grated some orange zest in it. Yummmmm!

First time I cooked it, it turned out like a brick :( So this time I added 1,5 cups of flour instead of 2 and it turned out just great! I also put 2/3 cup of brown sugar instead of 1,5 of white (it's still sweet). And I made it dairy-free - I used margarine and cashew milk. All in all, an easy recipe of a delicious banana bread. Will definitely cook again.

This was delicious. I liked this way of making banana bread, more then the other ways I've done in the past. After it cooled down it was so soft too.
