I liked this banana bread. It is a good basic recipe. I prefer to add in something more for some added interest, flavor, or crunch (e.g., nuts or chocolate chips).

When I was a child, I thought there was nothing better than my grandma's homemade banana bread! This recipe is almost identical except that the amount of the ingredients are reduced so it makes a slightly smaller loaf (8x4-inch loaf instead of a 9x5-inch). I decided to substitute some of our homegrown pawpaws for the bananas, which worked perfectly. Either version is delicious and easy to make!<\/p>","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2023-12-03","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"Yesenia616"},"reviewBody":"

I've been looking for an easy and good banana bread recipe so I tried this one the other day and I was very disappointed with the final product.

It's so good that it is now my go to recipe for banana bread. Those saying that it is too dry maybe not using bananas that are ripe enough or enough of them. I always use 3 bananas in a recipe. They need to be so ripe you would not dream of eating them and thoroughly mashed before adding to the other ingredients. Found that out the hard way one time. Only thing different I do is add 3\/4 cup to 1 cup of raisins.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2021-11-05","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"RedScooter"},"reviewBody":"How about measurements in grams?

So since the recipe calls for 1\/3 cup of shortening, and the shortening blocks come in one cup sticks, I decided to make 3 loafs. The first one I made exactly as the directions said. It came out rather dry. The second loaf I added one egg to (3 eggs instead of 2). That loaf came out a bit moister. But the most moist of all 3 was the last loaf. I used 2 eggs BUT used bananas that were a bit more mushy than the others. I used 3 bananas that were not firm and really ripe. It tasted wonderful. So, yes, I agree with others that this recipe as is, is rather dry. But adding something to give it a bit more moisture helps. Next time, I will probably add a bit more of the bananas because we like more banana flavor.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":4,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2013-01-06","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"GreenChilli"},"reviewBody":"I get requests for this banana bread every year.
