This looks really good! Thanks for posting it!
Sounds delicious. I may just have to whip that up :)
Thank you for this great recipe - I am so tempted to run straight in the kitchen to see if I have all of the ingredients at hand.
It is an honor to watch you and your family on tv - you all are an inspiration!
Blessings!
Would love to make it but bananas are $12 per kilo (1 kilo = 2.2lbs) in Australia at the moment! We haven't eaten one for months ... so sad : (
I think that officially makes the price of bananas in Australia more expensive than gas in the USA! Unbelievable. Another good reason to eat more chocolate.

that looks so very yummy I think I might make it at home. Thank you for posting it girls!
Sometimes, as a special treat, we like to sprinkle our banana bread with cinnamon sugar before putting it in the oven :-)
That sounds yummy. Hope I get to try some for myself soon!

I baked it last night! All in all, it's a very tasty recipe. My tips would be
a) it rises a lot, keep in mind and don't put it on the bottom rack of the oven!
b) maybe add an extra banana, if so inclined.
c) Banana bread is much much tastier after you let it set for a day or so.
Yum!
This comment is mostly addressed to the poster in australia who has super expensive bananas - but applies to anyone else as well. when they are in season - and the price is down to normal always remember to never toss out bananas when they no longer look good to eat - these make the best banana bread. My mom used to just pop them in a zip top freezer bag and freeze them but I always do as my dad did. My dad used to say - remove it from the peel n mash it up then put it in the bag n date it. This way you already have most of the work done and with them dated you can pick (different parts of the seasons have sweeter bananas) so you can get a good balance. also - try tossing in a few marischino cherries for color and a suprise. My dad always tossed 3 or 4 in - finding that one little sweet bite was fun :)
mmm.. I love the idea of the cherries in the bread, I'm definitely going to try that!
Fantastic recipe. It's so nice to find a banana bread recipe with very common ingredients. This is my go to recipe when we need a sweet little snack or I need something extra to bring to a family holiday dinner.
