Whenever I pass a display of bananas in the grocery store, I can almost smell the wonderful aroma of this bread. It really is good! —Gert Kaiser, Kenosha, Wisconsin

I loved the recipe. I also changed a few things like used 3/4 of sugar and added mini chocolate chips and a teaspoon of nutmeg. I doesn't last long at my house.

I loved this recipe with a few variations due to my families preferences...I added 1 TBSP of Cinnamon, 1/2 tsp Nutmeg and a dash of cloves...plus I used brown sugar in place of the sugar. It stays moist and delicious to the very end (but it doesn't last long at our house).

We used my mother-in-law's wonderful recipe for 30 years, but after I tried this recipe I filed my old one away! My husband and all of my kids and their families say this is "The Best Ever Banana Bread".

Very good recipe. Would definitely make this again. Like other reviewers, I only added 1 cup of sugar and it was plenty. Also used 3 bananas instead of 2. Be sure to check for doneness before the amount of time called for. Mine only baked for 1 hour and 5 minutes. Ovens really vary!

Excellent bread! I have tried many, many recipes over the years(my family LOVES bananas); needless to say this is truly the "Best."Made it in 3 mini-loaf pans(of course had to adjust time due to small size of pans), and added another banana. It was delicious and easy!
