Great recipe. Love it with nuts. Even better when used in banana split. Fantastic.

Very delicious and moist. I didn't have walnuts on-hand so I just used pecans and they were just as good.

I think this is "THE" best banana bread I've made. I added the cinnamon-sugar mixture to the top and bottom which made it extra special! The baking time was perfect also as I sometimes have problems with breads not being done in the middle.

This is very tasty, yet fairly ordinary, banana bread. So, I made two loaves - one plain (without walnuts) and one with the "special extra" at the bottom of the recipe (added sugar and cinnamon, but again without walnuts). The sugar and cinnamon make this the BEST banana bread I've ever made!! This is my new favorite banana bread recipe!

Very easy and great taste! Definitely do the "Special Extra" listed - lining the pan & topping with cinnamon sugar!

Super easy and delicious recipe! I added extra bananas (used about 5) and it was so moist and tasty. Baked for 70 minutes and it came out perfect. A keeper!

This was so moist and flavorful. I've made it with and without nuts. My husband loves it, I have to hide from him. Everyone I have given it to asks for the recipe. I have also made muffins with this recipe, baking them in paper liners for about 24 to 25 minutes at the same temp.

SUPER EASY! This was a great recipe that came together quickly with ingredients that are normally on hand. Love a recipe like that. I used light sour cream, reduced the sugar by 1/4 cup and added semi-sweet choc. chips along with the walnuts. Absolutely yummy! Family loved it and couldn't wait to taste it. Since they were so anxious I cut it while warm and it was falling apart a bit so wait until it's completely cool if you can. The next day it cut more like bread. Will definitely make this again and again!

Wonderful and EASY! This banana bread was very easy to make, with simple ingredients! The baking time was right on too. Perfect with cream cheese spread or by itself! Adding some cinnamon sugar might add a little different flavor, but I wouldn't change a thing about the recipe!
