02/19/2015 I made this recipe with gluten free flour and it came out beautifully! It was super moist and yummy!! Would highly recommend it. I added the chocolate chips as well.

10/24/2014 Made it the other day so I could have something to eat as a snack or fro breakfast. Didn't have Sour cream so I used Greek Yogurt instead. It turned out super delicious although, it did stick from the bottom a little. I want to make it as a Muffin. Not sure if I could. Any suggestions? Thanks!!

02/27/2014 Recipe is flawed. I made this the other day, it takes way more than 70 minutes(mine took 78 minutes) to bake for it to be fully done in the center. I did tent it with foil but the top still burned a little around the edges. It has great flavor but 3 cups of bananas seems like to much. It almost is enough for 2 pans, maybe smaller ones than the big 9X5 pan called for.

01/12/2014 Yummy! I tweaked the recipe by adding 1/2 tsp vanilla extract to the mashed bananas.

07/07/2013 I had too many overripe bananas from my tree and this recipe produced such a wonderful, light and fluffy loaf. Reduced the sugar to 1/4 cup since my bananas were already super-sweet and it worked well! Thanks so much!!!

04/06/2013 Just made this recipe and it's delicious. I didn't get two full loaves, a good-sized one and a shortie. Should have done mini loaves, maybe. Added pumpkin pie spice and one loaf got toasted pecans, the other mini choc chips. Really nice recipe.

09/06/2012 Very DISAPPOINTING! Love banana bread, so I am always trying new recipes. This one was beautiful when it came out of the oven and then 15 minutes later it fell flat. Don't waste your time or ingredients with this one....

12/18/2011 I absolutely love this recipe! The first time I made it, I only had 4 bananas, so I added a bit of milk to moisten the batter. The second time, I had the six bananas, but used brown sugar.... YUM! It took about 85 minutes, but so worth the wait. You have to perfectly follow the steps, as I found the next me I made it, or it doesn't turn out good at all.

12/15/2011 I made the whole recipe and it fit perfectly in Nordic Ware's banana bread pan. But I think 3 cups of bananas is a bit too much. It was really really moist. Also, 1 cup of sugar will be more than enough. The whole thing baked in about 75 minutes. Over all, it's YUM.

07/14/2011 I disagree with Edithe! I thoroughly enjoyed this recipe. Although, I did make a few adjustments. I did not add walnuts, and did 1 cup all-purpose flour and 1 cup whole-wheat flour. It made for really yummy and moist bread.

07/14/2011 I was so disappointed in this recipe. I felt 3 cups of mashed banana was more than the usual recipes for this bread and the suggested pan was too small. Planned to get a larger pan and make again but when I tasted the "almost" cooked product, decided to not waste time and ingredients. Flavor was so lacking, I ended up putting the bread out for the birds to "enjoy"?

03/14/2011 This was very good! I made half the recipe and it's a perfect size. I only had one ripe banana so I added a cup of applesauce. I also added some cinnamon and chocolate chips - very good! It only needed 45 minutes of baking.

09/24/2010 Followed the advise and use half of the recipe. It was PERFECT !!! Making the full recipe and using 2 pans. Hopefully, they'll be as delicious as the first time.

10/11/2008 After reading your comments, I made it using 2 separate pans. I cooked them for 60 minutes and they came out a bit overbaked. Next time I'll check them at 45-50 minutes and see.

05/21/2008 Wow, I agree with other comments. I just made this loaf....my batter spilled over slightly, but the loaf had to be returned to the over after 70 minutes. I agree two pans are probably best, but I'm not sure I will try this recipe again.

03/08/2008 I wish I had read the comments before I began. Mine baked over as well. Use two pans!

03/02/2008 I just tried this recipe and I think it requires 2 pans. The batter spilled over into the oven.I t has also taken twice as long to bake than it should have.
