Special Banana Nut Bread Recipe

Reviewed on May. 07, 2013 by shebakw

I made large and small muffins and how moist and flavorful they are, amazing. I cut back the sugar to one cup rather then two. Would have been way too sweet for me. Next time I am going to try 3/4 cup of sugar. It's just a matter of tasting the batter and if it needs more add it. I always under estimate the sugar and it usually works for me. If your having a party try the mini cup or the regular cup cake pans these will be the hit of the party. You can't go wrong with the recipe.

This bread is wonderful. I wanted to try it out so I only made 1/2 recipe. Just a note, the full recipe calls for 2 cups of sugar. I halved the recipe and used about 1/2 cup of sugar. It is plenty sweet. Next time I will make two loaves. Thanks for the great recipe.

This is Great and requested lots by family members. I do not make the glaze when I make it, the bread does not need it! This bread is so moist! Only recipe I use!

I made this Banana Bread about a week ago as something to nice to give my neighbor and I kept one loaf for my family. All who tried it loved it, the bread didn't make it in my home past breakfast and my neighbor asked for the recipe. I have tried many recipes for banana bread and this is by far my favorite.

This was one of the best Banana Nut Bread recipes I've baked. I used walnuts instead of pecans because that's what i had on hand. I also didn't do the glaze. It's so good you don't need it and I'd hate to cover up the yummy, moist taste. This is my new go to Banana Nut Bread recipe!

I made this for a potluck at work.. and out of all the things that I've made, this was the one that most people wanted the recipe to make themselves. In fact, one of my coworkers made it for her team's very next potluck! I'm making a batch right now so I can freeze it and give out for Christmas gifts. :)

The best I've ever eaten. It replaces my recipe from 45 years ago. The orange juice and zest make this banana bread.

I've made this recipe twice now & it's one of my new favorites. It tastes best after it's sat for a day. I don't make the glaze. I do, however, add a cup of mini chocolate chips to the batter. I use walnuts instead of pecans.

Amazing banana bread! The cream cheese adds richness but it is not a heavy bread at all. It doesnt have such a strong banana flavour as other breads. I didn't do the nut topping or the glaze and we just gobbled it up for breakfast this morning :)

I have made this bread several times and it always turns out great. Everyone that has tasted it has wanted the recipe. The only thing I change is I wait ten minutes before I put on the glaze. Otherwise the top of the bread turns soggy.

With the addition of cream cheese to the batter this makes this bread extra moist, extra tasty and extra special!! Took it to work and had to give the recipe!!

Wonderful recipe! We enjoy it very much. Does not last long. It makes 2 loaves & freezes well. It is light, some banana breads I think are to heavy. DELICIOUS!!! I have made the recipe several times. One of our favorites.

This was very moist and it was easy to make with ingredients I had on hand. Making two loaves was another plus!

OMG!!! My sister made this recipe during the Thanksgiving holiday and it was the best banana bread I've ever eaten, and believe me, I've eaten a lot. I have already made it and shared with my neighbor--but now wish I'd kept it for us. Yum,Yum, Yum!

Works fine with whole wheat flour. If you're crazy about pecans, use the 2 cups, or you could get by fine with 1 and not sprinkle them on top.

This is my favorite banana bread recipe. The cream cheese in the batter really gives it a good flavor, and the toasted pecans with the orange glaze on top makes it taste SO good! I love this bread.

loved this!!!! I only had a 1/2 pkg of cream cheese, so I made up the rest with banana yogurt. I also added marchino cherries and dried apricots. I like lots of fruit... Nice and moist

I have made this and it is better then the one I have been using for years!!! Extremely moist. I didn't use the orange glaze but instead used a nut blend. Yummy!!!

This is amazingly good, and the orange glaze is a wonderful touch. I get lots of requests for this around the holidays. I use lower fat cream cheese, and only 1 cup of nuts in the batter, none on top.

Baked this for the first time today. Rather than loaves, I baked it as cup cakes made 27 regular size. Although the batter is stiffer than a normal cake mix, I simply spooned it into paper liners. Baked them for 25 minutes in a 325 degree oven (but I also kept a close eye on them & tested then with a toothpick @ 20 minutes.) I plan to ice them with a bit of caramel cream cheese icing since they are for a party . . . but they are great just out of the oven! My taste-tester (hubby) says this is a definite keeper!
