YUM! I used the full cup of brown sugar. SOO good. I actually followed the recipe this time (with the exception of a white whole wheat and whole wheat flour mix)… YUM!

And it was my first time making this type of baked treat. They came out fabulous, not overly sweet and very moist. And damn, these loafs are *really* dense! Fabulous!

I made it tonight, and used Ener-G Replacer instead of egg which made no difference I don't think. My batter was too flour-y, which might be because my bananas weren't ripe enough, so I added two tablespoon water and about a 1/2 cup of soymilk. The end result was marvelous and the spices were just perfect. Very moist bread too. I might add a bit more sugar next time, and less flour. Also, nuts and chocolate chips would be good in this bread too. This was wonderful! I made it tonight, and used Ener-G Replacer instead of egg which made no difference I don’t think.

Less sweet than my own personal recipe but much more complex flavors. I used 1/2 c. white flour, 1/2 c. cake flour and 1/2 c. wheat flour. I also only used a beaten egg white (instead of a whole egg). Instead of using the 1/3 c. butter I only used 2 tablespoons and supplemented with some home made apple sauce. Love this recipe! Especially the addition of the bourbon and all that nutmeg! Just made this with some alterations to make it just a bit more health conscious….and it turned out DELISH!!

This is the first recipe I have tried here and I would like to report that it smells delicious! Tastes just how it smells, too. It was nice and bready, not too sweet and full of banana flavor.

Took less than an hour to whip up, and I took a shower and did a load of laundry while it was baking...what a successful/productive Friday night!!! I left out the bourbon (not a fan of boozies in my baked goods) and cloves (had none) but added some chocolate chips and boy, am I ever pleased with myself. Had to bake it in an 8x8 pan because I had no loaf pan, but I imagine it's just as good as a brownie-esque batch as it is a loaf...only baked it for 40min to compensate. This is my second recipe I've made with SK and I'm already hooked...last week was Martha's Mac & Cheese, which was just unbelievable. Oh my, this was such a delight.

After having a successful loaf following the original recipe, decided to mix things up with the addition of blueberries. This added too much moisture and resulted in a loaf doughey on the inside and burnt on the outside. Stick with the original! A reviewer suggested adding blueberries to this recipe.

My husband bought something like five huge bunches of bananas a week ago, and I had exactly 3 1/2 bananas that reached the freckled stage. I made banana muffins with them this morning, using this recipe (substitutions: half whole wheat flour, and no bourbon). For whoever it was asking about time/temp to cook muffins, I baked them at 350 for about 25 minutes. Delicious! Had I read through the comments before making them, I would have subbed yogurt for the butter, as my husband has been having weight issues lately, that seem to have coincided with my finding this website several months back.

I tossed in some pecans I had lying around for an extra-jacked up. :) Needless to say, the banana bread did not live to see the next day. PS- I discovered this site about a month ago, and I adore it! So many wonderful ideas and advice for this fledgling of a cook. My boyfriend and I made this on Saturday, and it came out OH so delightful!!
