Amazing. I never made Banana bread before. Made per directions without nuts. Turned out very moist. Making again for my neighbor this morning. Took her some yesterday. She loved it. Printing recipe for both of us. This recipe is a keeper.

Do I use the same cooking time and temperature for the 3 smaller loaf pans?

I made this with my 3 year old students today and it turned out amazing! No nuts in our bread though. The kiddos loved it and so did my fellow teachers who got to have a taste. Even printed out the recipe and sent it home with my kiddos.

Instead of putting foil on top, I put a pan of water under the banana bread and it never burns or cracks on top! I also do that with meatloaf and it works. This recipe is awesome and we all love it!

You definitely don't need to butter it. Very good just by itself.

I am constantly trying to find a banana bread recipe. So many failed recipes. Doesn't rise, raw in the middle or dense and bland. I decided to try one more time... when I came across your recipe. I doubled it, as I had 6 bananas in the freezer to use. I also used my food processor. I have to tell you... ITS THE ONE!!!! It made two perfect loaves. Thank you so much, I finally found a keeper!

Very good! I just made this recipe with my grandma and it smells (and tastes) very good. It's cooking as I type. Only thing different I did was too add cinnamon.

I'm far from a professional baker but I am glued to using your recipe after trying numerous recipes over the years. Your recipe never fails to satisfy the hungry taste-buds of my husband. Also, I recently switched and always make it in a bundt pan, it just gives it that add extra beauty visually.
