Replaced 1 cup whole wheat flour. 1/2 cup brown sugar and used one big box of vanilla pudding. It still tasted delish.

This banana bread was a hit! Growing up my mom always made banana bread loaves so they have a special nostalgic value to me. I looked online thru many recipes but I opted to go with Taste of Homes and I am extremely happy I did. It was moist and fluffy and delicious. I made the batter in a cupcake tin and 2 mini loaves. It actually took the cupcakes only 24 min to bake and the mini loaves about 35 on 350. Thanks again TOH!

I did not have two pkgs of pudding, so I used one large pkg. Other than that, I followed the recipe exactly as written. My husband says it is a keeper! Delicious!

I have made this recipe many many times. I've tried with oil or apple sauce and with or without chocolate chips, always turned out amazing. This is officially MY banana bread recipe :)

I have made this recipe quite a few times. Try substituting strawberry creme or pumpkin spice instant puddings for the vanilla pudding. Tastes like strawberrys and banana or pumpkin bread. Thanks very much for sharing. It's my go to recipe for old bananas!
