  • I've tried many different banana breads (always trying to find the perfect recipe without butter and too much sugar/fat) and I think this one is the perfect balance without losing the delicious flavour and texture at all! Delicious! I made it last week and will make it again this week

  • Wow. That's next level banana bread. Holy cow. I will echo what others have said: an hour isn't long enough. Definitely raw in the middle, but added another 15min and it was perfect.

  • This recipe was great! For my oven, I ended up needing to cook the banana bread for closer to an hour and 20 minutes. I also had a lot of extra for the topping so you could probably cut the portions for that in half. This was delicious though and my family loved it!

  • After 1 hour the middle was still raw? Did I do something wrong?
