I have the perfect bananas sitting on my counter and they were waiting for this recipe. Thank you Donna John!

30 minute bake time is too short - I am leaving it to bake longer. It was undercooked in the center at 30 minutes.

Every oven is different. At my first house, I had to bake it almost 10 minutes longer. The oven in my new house bakes it in 30 minutes. You just need to watch it. Thank you for pointing that out! Oxnardprof

I love a moist slightly undercooked banana bread, thanks for the tips. Will place plastic wrap over it once cooked to keep the top Gooey and scrumptious 😀😀😀
Donna John
I do the same!! :-)

Donna, you are THE baker in my world, so the next time I bake banana bread, I will be using this recipe for sure!

I had 6 blackening-by-the-hour bananas sitting on the counter so I gave this one a try--sort of... She-who-can't-just-follow-a-recipe tried a few things: I used 1 cup regular flour, 1/2 cup whole wheat, 1/2 cup oat bran. I didn't have vanilla, so I used almond extract. And I had some crushed pineapple left over from the last batch of Morning Glory muffins so I put in about 1/2 cup of that (squeezed out as much liquid as I could), and since the pineapple was sweet, I backed off on the sugar and put ~1 1/4 cup. It turned out really good! It didn't rise a lot, but that may be an indication I need some new baking soda/powder. I'm looking forward to a piece with some cream cheese in the morning!

Donna John, Yum!!!
My sweet neighbor Robin brought me over a loaf today. Between me and my renter, we’ve inhaled it. Robin doubled the recipe and made four loafs to share, and she shared the recipe. I have 10 bananas on my counter that have been screaming, we’re ready! I’m going to do some late night baking and include a copy of Grandma’s Recipe, and your link. I’m following….Thanks for sharing!

That makes me so happy!!! Love passing on my grandma's recipes! Josie Studer
