So yum!

the banana bread was so good!! highly recommend this recipe

My go to banana bread, I reduce the sugar by half and add coconut instead. No milk so it lasts longer and goes great in the freezer as I always make a double batch. Easy as!

Absolutely yum and tasty also Devine 100% 10/10

Excellent - fast and easy plus delicious result! My bananas were bruised from the scrap bin rather than too old but I made it anyway and put in a handful of chopped pecans plus some currants and it was really good. Will put it in my recipe book.

Simple and supreme
Thanks for sharing

So. Darn. Good!! It’s 12:58am and I am laying in bed thinking about making a smal batch of just the batter! Way too easy to be this good! Yum!!

My favourite banana bread, so easy and quick to make.
Half a cup of sugar is fine too.
Very tasty with butter on.

This banana bread is absolutely delicious. Very easy to make and great for lunches and a quick snack. I put some margarine on it to make it even better. Thanks for this wonderful recipe. Highly recommend, will be using it again.

My go to banana bread recipe.
Versatile and yummy.

I’ve made this 5-6 times now and have just tried with less sugar - agree this is still good with the sugar halved. I tend to add chocolate chips to this and use self raising instead of flour and baking powder. Pretty much no fail.

Far too salty.

Love it. Really quick and versatile. I add hemp hearts and sprinkle with pumpkin seeds. Be nice with wholemeal flour too!

Make this version all the time - definitely super easy and yummy! :)

So easy and comes out nicely as muffins too. Cooked the muffins for 35min only though.

Very yummy with half the sugar.

Fantastic quick recipe for a busy mum! Kids love it!

Quick and easy recipe to make for lunchboxes or new parents

I've made it twice now, love it.

I love this recipe and I have made it twice.☺

Found it very beautiful. Had it hot with ice cream. I accidentally put one teaspoon of baking powder in and it had no effect other than rising.

Very nice banana bread, don't know if I'd make it again or not. It was very easy to prepare although it could be better but I burnt it slightly though it does give it a bit of crunch which is quite nice. Has come out pretty good, nice and moist inside. Would recommend if you like bananas and a nice bread.

Nice and easy thank you

Not a nice taste the soda needs to be dissolved in a bit of milk n maybe less salt. I followed the recipe exactly. Will alter and make again.

Far too salty. Maybe less salt or no salt otherwise very easy.
