So easy and so moist. We have made it twice and it turned out great both times. Made for I recommend.

So moist and so delicious!! I reduced the recipe to make 3 loaves (I only had 4 banana's), which resulted in two 9X5 loaves. I also used low fat sour cream and egg beaters for the eggs. I don't think the substitutions made one bit of difference. You would never know that this was low fat! The recipe was so easy. This is probably the best banana bread I have tried! This will be my go-to recipe from now on. Thank you for sharing!

Wonderful recipe! As previous reviewers said, it's easy and delicious! I got three loaves: two 8x4 and one 9x5, and they all popped out of the pan so easily! I use a product alled Wilton Cake Release, and my pans are Chicago Metallic, which I have found are so much better than the sort of pan you buy at Wal-Mart, for example. This is definately going to be my go-to banana bread loaf now! I loved the topping, too - it gave the top such a lovely crunch. Thanks so much for posting, Seesko!
