I think this is probably the recipe my mom used for banana bread. It is credited elsewhere to Fannie Farmer. I must say I was kind of skeptical because the recipe didn't have milk or even cinnamon. But, now that I've tried making it myself, I'm seeing the charm in relying on banana, nuts, and sugar alone for the flavor. It's pretty amazing how flavorful it is for being such a simple list of ingredients. And I love how there are no added oils; and yet the bread is not dry. I guess we have the bananas to thank for that too. Thanks! -
If bread is too dry, maybe try replacing a banana per egg? -
I have to say I have never had the dry problem. I use 3 VERY ripe, almost totally black banannas, the moisture and squishyness seem to help the bread stay moist. I usually have to wrap this lightly because its so moist if I put it in a bag it rots too fast. -
This had a good flavor but was a bit dry for me. I like the really moist banana breads. Good with a bit of butter or cream cheese on it. For a "fat free" recipe, it was really quite tasty!
