  1. Trying the 2 Lb loaf I’ll let you know how it turns out. I think one of my boys was born with a piece of bread in his mouth so he’ll give me the straight in it. I’m learning with the machine I have — nothing like a little construction work. thanks for sharing the recipe. Appreciate it.

  2. Worked very well. Thanks

  3. Worked very well. Thanks. Needed a little more salt for the 2 lb. recipe.

    Made the 2# loaf.
    Switched whole wheat and bread flour amounts.
    added 1/2t.yeast and cinnamon.
    Added 2t. Gluten.
    Brushed top with milk and sprinkled cardamom and cinnamon sugar.
    Excellent results!! Will make again.

  5. Also added 1/4t. Salt

    1. Thanks for sharing the substitutions you made. I love the idea of adding cinnamon in the batter and sprinkling cardamom and cinnamon on top. Yum!

  6. I made the recipe with a few changes – I used 100% whole wheat flour, ( 4 c.)so increased frozen banana to 1 3/4 cups (which allowed me to use more frozen bananas up; the whole reason I made this recipe :)) I omitted the sugar, and did add raisins. It came out very well – slight sink in the middle, but good taste.
    I baked it on whole wheat setting, instead of white yeast bread setting.
    I will make this again! It is not as sweet and cakey as some might prefer, but in case others may want to try a whole wheat version, thought I’d share my experiment.

    1. Thank you for sharing your 100% whole wheat version of this banana bread. Your changes sound good.
