This is by far my favorite bread! I have tried tons of different banana breads and none of them have been that great. This one is awesome! It's sooo moist and delicious. I don't have 3 small pans so I just used one regular 8 by 4 pan and it turns out beautifully everytime. I also didn't have banana extract so I just add more vanilla.

I loved this recipe. I didn't have banana extract, so I left that out. I have tons of zucchini from the garden, so I will be making this again!

I made the recipe as posted ingredient wise. However, I made it into muffins (12) and it was very good. Will make again.

I live in high altitude as well but followed the recipe. The only thing I changed was adding a bit of cinnamon. The bread is soft and tastes amazing. I will definitely make it again.

I reduced the sugar to 3/4 cup as well and added mini chocolate chips instead of walnuts. Yummy.

Living in a high altitude area, I decreased the sugar to 1/2 cup and increased flour to 1-2/3 cups. Substituting unsweetened applesauce for the oil will save on fat calories. Delicious bread.
