I watch several youngsters each day while their parents are at work. They come running when I announce it's time to cook. This bread is one of their favorite treats to help bake and eat.—Sharon Ward, King Ferry, New York

This recipe should be rated a 5 star. It was the only banana bread recipe in my very old Better Homes and Gardens New Cook Book.

jabe1946 Many of us seldom prepare a recipe as written as we are creative and like to try something different. I very often look through related recipes and create something using something from many of them. It's just the "nature of the beast"

This banana bread is a big hit with my family. To make it lighter I used light margarine and 4 egg whites in place of the whole eggs and then added 1 tsp vanilla and my son loves choc chips so I added 1/2 cup of minis and sprinkled the top with brown sugar for a crunchy top & cinnamon and more choc chips....boy it was great!

Moist and soft. Very tasty. I added 1 tsp vanilla and 1/4 tsp cinnamon. I used parchment paper in my pan. Lift to rack, cool and serve!

I get requests every year for this bread. I also like to add either white raisins or chopped dried apricots to the bread for that extra fruity flavor. Usually just a 1/2 cup is plenty.

Used 1/2 c butter instead of shortening, aded some vanilla, and because the batter turned out really thick and tough i added a little milk. came out nice

I didn't try the recipe. I am always amazed at how people tell how good they like the recipe, but have changed it some small way or in some cases large ways. If you liked itso well, why did you change it? Just curious!

This bread was very easy to make. I added 1 teaspoon of vanilla and when I greased the pan I "floured" it with sugar. The bread was very moist and tasty!

I also have been making this recipe for years. I add vanilla too. It is really versitile. I add pecans, or blueberries and bit of lemon zest, sometimes chocolate chips and walnuts. I make mini loaves and freeze them. When my kids need something for a bake sale they are ready to go
