Fantastic! Very easy to make, not that many ingredients to use. I felt like a professional & my family loved it! We've made it many times since. It comes out perfect every time.

This reciepe was great I did sweeten it a little more with vanilla, and nutmeg. Some of my family came over and had it and I ended up making three more for my family members. It was easy to make.

Very good and got rave reviews...just be careful not to over mix it! Mine second batch turned out dense.

Great recipe, I overcooked it thinking it was doughy... didnt realize thats how it was suppose to be. A little bland so next time I will add the cinnamon and sugar and vanilla as the other reviewer suggested... the texture is amazing, the flavor lacked a star.

THIS IS THE BEST BANANA BREAD EVER....IT SIMPLY MELTS IN YOUR MOUTH WITH MOISTNESS.I USED PECANS INSTEAD OF WALNUTS AND 4 SMALL RIPE BANANAS. IT WAS EXCELLENT.
