    Great lens. I love a slice of banana bread for breakfast during my commute to work in the morning.

    Oh yes, I love banana bread. We could never wait a day or two to eat it. My recipe is almost identical to yours, except I use whole wheat flour. Because it's whole wheat and has no preservatives, the banana bread goes stale quickly. That's never a problem for us, though. We can't keep our hands off it!

    Wow, I'm really craving some banana bread right now! Really nice lens.

    I make banana bread quite often and have been happy with my recipe. But now I'd like to try your recipe, since you are raving so about it... Looking forward to some tasty banana bread! Thanks for sharing!

    I only made banana bread once, I'll try your recipe and see how it goes; now I can by the whole bunch and not worry about it over-ripening.

    Great recipe Brenda, delicious. I will definitly use this banana bread recipe again.
  • Tipi Apr 30, 2011 @ 3:42 pm | delete
    I would guess the sour cream would lend a lot of moistness to the banana bread. Funny, my sister has told me the same tips and especially that you want overripe bananas and as overripe as you can get them, she also freezes the bananas. I always get one in the mail, so it has had the chance to age. So that's why its so good! Shell has one other secret, she uses coconut rum, yum. I do have a loaf that she just sent me, so you'll know where I'll be an maybe some orange spice tea with that.
  • mattseefood Apr 27, 2011 @ 10:59 am | delete
    Yuuuummmy! I really love banana breads. Another recipe to try out next time!
  • findingwhimsy Apr 25, 2011 @ 3:00 pm | delete
    I love banana bread - but usually add pecans. You are so right about the ripe bananas - it makes all the difference in the world. I'm going to try freezing my overripe bananas again. The last time I did it, I was put off by how they looked after they had been in the freezer for a few weeks! :)
  • Helenee Apr 21, 2011 @ 5:17 am | delete
    First time I ever heard of Banana Bread. Now I'll know what to do with ripe bananas. Must be very tasty. Sharing your Banana Bread secrets was really obliging -- especially the one about waiting until next day. Hard to comply, though...

    Yes, I also have my favorite Banana Bread Recipe, but I'm seeing a lot of good ideas here. And I love the Nordic Ware Banana Bread Pan. I'm a Bread Machine fan, but if I had one of these I'd bake all my banana bread loafs in it. I have recently started writing my bread machine recipes on Squidoo and will lensroll this lens to them. Good Job.

    Well, I'll have to try this! Although I do love blueberries in my banana bread, so I may have to add some. Lensrolled to Blueberry Banana Bread.

    Brenda, I baked a loaf of your BEST EVER banana bread last night. As much as I like my simple banana bread recipe, you've topped it, no doubt about it. In fact, I had to go buy food for my cat this morning and bought some extra bananas while I was at it so I can bake a couple more loaves. Scrumptious! Thank you!
  • Treasures-By-Brenda Feb 22, 2011 @ 5:01 pm | delete
    Thanks, Susan for letting me know that this recipe worked well for you, too. We all have recipes that are our favorites and that we would not switch for anything. Kudos to you for being willing to try another banana bread recipe. (And thank goodness, for me, that it was a success!)

    I have a recipe that is similar to this one that I use all the time. Execept that recipe doesn't call for sour cream. I'm vegan, so I've veganized the other one I have so I will do the same to this one adding vegan sour cream. I'll be sure to let you know how it turns out!

    I have this banana bread baking in my oven right now! I can't wait until it's done. About 25 minutes, now. I made a double batch and added dark chocolate shavings to half.

    I remember as a kid my mom served us banana bread for the first time and I thought "Want a minute - bananas can be made into BREAD?! How awesome it that?!" I still love the stuff to this day.
  • daoine Sep 12, 2010 @ 3:13 am | delete
    Oh yum. I've been making banana muffins out of leftover banana as my toddler loves banana, but doesn't eat the whole thing.

    My mother freezes bananas all the time and then uses them in banana bread. They never last long enough in my house to make it to the refrigerator.

    How could I have missed this lens, Brenda? My recipe doesn't include sour cream and that sounds wonderful, so next batch will be from your recipe. When I baked a loaf of mine yesterday I was short a banana, so I added a peach instead! Also added blueberries, mmmm! A sample slice tasted great yesterday, but I agree with you that it's much better if you save it to the next day. I'm about ready for breakfast and I don't expect to be disappointed. Love that fabulous banana bread loaf pan you included. Cute!
  • Treasures-By-Brenda Jul 2, 2010 @ 8:04 am | delete
    Yes, Susan, I think you could add any moist fruit, probably even applesauce although I have not tried it. Blueberries, of course, go in anything!

    Oh Hello sorry my mouth and hands are full. guess what im eating? Yes you guessed right, VERY DELICIOUS BANANA BREAD.i made 2 loaves from one recipe and gave my daughter one to take to work and she said that at first her workmates looked at the loaf kinda weird and when her boss came into the office and had a piece he said" you guys dont know what u missing and then everyone dug in.
    Now i have to go and bake some for my hubby in Canada, we live in Puerto Vallarta Mexico half the year and bananas grow right in our garden so u prone to have overripe bananas. Thankyou for posting this recipe, i feel great that i can bake a banana loaf now and its perfect, i would love to add nuts tho, i guess i add it to wet ingredients right? and how much will i add please?
  • Treasures-By-Brenda Jun 17, 2010 @ 6:38 am | delete
    Kikitigger7,

    Thank you very much for your comments, I appreciate the feedback and knowing that you love the recipe as much as we do.

    I have never added nuts because my children never did care for them in baked products. I guess I should try putting some in the next loaf now that they are older. (They're teenage boys; they'll eat almost anything.)

    I would try adding a 1/2 a cup of nuts first and then you might even be able to guess visually if you think another 1/2 cup is reasonable or not. Be sure to come back and let us know how your 'nutty' experiment works out!

    I have a favorite banana bread recipe. It has oats and nuts in it. We make it when we travel and aren't sure what kind of breakfast will be available where we will be staying. It's also a great late night snack. I'll have to try yours, though, too. We've always got bananas around, and sometimes they do get too ripe.
