Whenever I pass a display of bananas in the grocery store, I can almost smell the wonderful aroma of my best banana bread recipe. It really is amazingly good! —Gert Kaiser, Kenosha, Wisconsin

Best Ever Banana Bread

all-purpose flour

sugar

baking soda

salt

eggs, room temperature

medium ripe bananas, mashed (1 cup)

canola oil

buttermilk

vanilla extract

walnuts

I have not tried this recipe yet, however, I would suggest using a scale and measure the ingredients before mixing.  I was taught this by my Mom.  I made a directory of all items...flour, sugar, oats, nuts...example. flour ...one cup is 4-1/4 oz. quick oats..one cup  2.82 oz...and so forth...might be worth checking it out??

I have used this recipe for almost 30 years. It is the best. For those that have had problems, I have used wide pan loaf pans. It does cook dark. But if you cook for 1 hour 20 minutes at 325, rotating half way through, you will be successful.  Try adding mini morsels. You’ll also want to store in a zip top bag and refrigerate. Enjoy!

Great taste on this bread but I&#039;ve tried it a couple times and I&#039;m having the same issue as a previous reviewer .  The sides brown way to much, long before the loaf is done . I tried doubling the recipe and making 3 loaves to cut the cook time but still had the same problem ...maybe ill try muffins out of it next time .

Gin, I’m sorry your bread failed. I had that problem too. During Covid I was t able to get my usual flour aid I settled for an different brand. It failed every time. Now I have my Gold Medal All-Purpose Flour again and it’s terrific!!  Try Gold Medal. This really is the best recipe I’ve ever tried.

Followed recipe exactly and first time using this recipe.  I was very disappointed in how it turned out - did not raise and edges burned even tho&#039; I thought it a good idea to loosely cover with foil once I saw the edges browning.  This was supposed to be a gift but could not in good conscience, give it to anyone.  Have not tasted it yet ....But in the future, will go back to my reliable stand-by recipe (which I thought was lost but have since found) as something is not quite right with this one.

I try a variety of  banana bread recipes and this 1 is easy and everyone loves ir. My husband said that we could stay with this recipe from now on!

Ok.. I make banana bread at least twice a month with the OLD bananas...as we never manage to eat a full bunch.  So yes this is a good basic recipe, and yes I changed a bunch.  I added butter instead of canola oil, one stick, added a 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg, yes and three bananas instead of two, did not have butter milk but used a 1/4 cup of Almond milk, how did it taste?   Lol.  I will let you know.
