Though our two children (now grown; we have one granddaughter) dislike bananas, they've always enjoyed this. It's been a standby since my grandmother shared the recipe before I was married. Cooking is fun for me...but I have to admit I would rather bake than make a meal. Yeast breads are my favorites! -Maralee Meyer, Milford, Nebraska

I have made this recipe many times, and it's always delicious even when I vary. I've tried everything: all purpose flour, bread flour, real butter, light butter, 1/2 butter 1/2 applesauce, retard the dough in the fridge overnight, etc ... Amazing every single time. I love to make this into 3 French loaves, which turn out so beautiful with the egg wash. It freezes well and is excellent as French toast!

I sprinkled sugar on the top of it before I baked it and it made it even better.

This is so yummy! I was looking for something other than traditional banana bread to use up my over-ripe bananas. I must admit, I was initially skeptical, but I'm now a believer. So good. Moist but not dense. I will certainly be making this again!

I found that it did not take nearly as long to bake as the recipe suggested. So, keep a close watch on it.
