I love, love, love this recipe!! But it never rises much. Anything I can do to get it to rise a little more? I’d like to give this away, but its appearance is not gift worth. I make this all the time and seem to always run into this. Thanks much.

Thank you for this recipe. I was craving banana bread but didn’t want to make a whole loaf. Its delicious – I added walnuts instead of pecans because that’s what I had. I live by myself so these small batch recipes are always a plus.

It tasted okay and was easy to make. I’d cut down on the honey as it was a tad over powering. 3 out of 5.

This is definitely one of the best banana bread recipes I’ve made. Thanks so much for sharing!

Hi Christina! Love, love, love this recipe! So moist! I’ve made this 3 times now 1 single and 2 doubles, and each time I have trouble with the rise. No dome on the breads. Got any ideas what could be going on? Thanks so much. I just love your recipes!!

Thanks for the recipe! I it and it was so moist and good. I did cut down on the sugar to make it less sweet and added some cinnamon but it was still the best banana bread I have ever tried.

I made it and left out the wheat germ. It was superb. I’m about to make it again, doubling the recipe. Thank you!

The next time you buy bananas, buy one more than you need. When you have finished those other bananas, and that last one is all brown and spotty and super sweet, pop it into the freezer, skin and all.
On the morning that you want to make a banana bread, take that frozen banana out of the freezer, skin and all, and put it in the refrigerator to thaw.
When you start to make the banana bread, take that thawed banana, cut the stem off and squeeze the goo into the recipe, like an entire tube of toothpaste.
What’s the point of this? You are ready to make a banana bread anytime you want. You can think start thinking about it this morning to bake this evening, and don’t have to start planning on Monday to bake a banana bread on Friday.
Kudos to Alton Brown for this trick. He had banana ice cream in mind, but it works perfectly for banana bread. I have done this dozens of times, and it has never failed me. It won’t fail you, either.

I definitely made this recipe 3 times already. It’s definitely a hit in our house. I’m making a gf version as I type. Super easy recipe . I also had to melt the butter due to time restraints .

Make this often and we love it! Use 1/2 whole wheat flour and reduce the sugar to two tbsp.

Doubled this recipe to use up 2 overripe bananas and added in some chocolate chips. This my be the best banana bread I’ve ever tasted and I’ve made many over the years. I appreciate that this recipe was created to use up that one lonely overripe banana that was forgotten, but can also be scaled up easily. 5/5 stars!

If I double the recipe, can I use a normal loaf pan?

What a great recipe!
I’m happy to be able to use some of the many little baking pans that I’ve acquired over the pandemic :-) Instead of using honey, I subbed sugar (used 4 tbsp sugar total), 2.5 tbsp of chocolate morsels (because, why not?) and added a smidge of cinnamon. Very moist, baked around 31 mins. Just the right amount to share with my afternoon tea.
Thanks, Christina, for another yummy recipe!
