I found this recipe in a family cookbook, and it’s been a favorite ever since. Everyone seems to like it, even those who don’t normally care for banana bread.

The best banana bread recipe ever. The nuts are a must though, I used pecan nuts.

This is a very moist banana bread. I made the recipe as directed and it turned out great! I did put foil on top of the loaf for the last 18 minutes of baking because the top started to get too dark for my liking. It's a very moist bread and was a hit in my house. Will definitely make again!

I made this tonight & used Splenda & applesauce instead of oil. 1 loaf I added mini choc. chips & the other was plain (no nuts). Both loaves turned out great!! Very moist & airy. My kids couldn't wait for the bread to finish cooling. Definitely will make again!

My husband has complained that my banana bread was dry and that I should use his ex-wife's recipe!! NOT HAPPENING.. So I have been looking for a very moist recipe. I substituted the 1 C. canola oil with 1/4 C Olive Oil and the 3/4 C applesauce. It was the best and he LOVED IT!! SUCCESS at last
