"This is a really yummy banana bread that the whole family loves. It is the best when warm, and microwaving it works fine to make it warm later on. This was my dad's recipe and it is the best!"

I've tried several different banana bread recipes and, I agree, this is the best ever. It freezes well and has a great crunchy crust when toasted.

Best banana bread recipe! Very moist. Now it's my go to recipe whenever I have extra ripe bananas.

This came out absolutely perfect for me. The top was beautiful, I made it exactly as posted (no nuts though). Yummers!

I absolutely loved this bread! I did have to put foil over top the last 10 min of baking because the bread was getting to dark for my taste. I will be making this again!
