     I joined Spark just to rate this recipe. I made muffins and they are fabulous. The family loves them. Based on comments, 350 deg. for 20 min. Made exactly as recipe listed, 3 med. bananas, and no nuts. I'm making a double batch tonight. One recipe makes 12 muffins. - 4/4/13

     I don't know about the rest of the nutrition info - but the sodium on this is WAYY OFF because baking soda and even reduced sodium baking powder, although they are calorie free, they are LOADED with sodium, fyi. - 10/24/12

     Quite good but WAY too salty (nearly inedible) as written. Use just a pinch of salt or eliminate it altogether. - 6/19/14

     I just baked and it's the best bread I ever had. I used coconut oil instead of butter, used flaxseed meal instead of eggs and add cranberries. I baked in a mini bread pan for 350 at 20min. It was perfect. Thank you for this recipe. Kristie - 11/13/13

     Wonderful recipe. Have missed the odd treat since I started eating primal, and this was a great treat. Recipe simple, easy to follow and results great. Very moist loaf. Whole family enjoyed. - 9/11/11

     I love this recipe. I will sometimes add chia seeds to it, 1/4 cup and I use apple sauce instead of butter. I found it makes it more moist. - 8/22/15

     Just made this today. Left out the baking soda. Not salty at all to me! Not a flavourful as regular banana bread and the eggs give it a very different texture. It did take much longer to bake, more like 90min @ 350 - 3/22/15

     This is a great recipe and easy to make. I made them in muffin tins instead, sprayed with coconut oil. I also added some chopped pecans and walnuts and bittersweet chocolate chips. Baked for 20 minutes at 350 degrees - came out perfect! - 12/31/12

     sounds great. It will be my next adventure after my Cacao Kapows tonight.

    I might add less banana though.
    Can I add coconut oil instead of butter? I also stop having dairy. - 12/16/12

     Good -- nice and moist. Good with cream cheese. Put some parchment in the bottom of the loaf pan to keep from sticking. Be sure to use a large loaf pan -- mine was too small, and took longer to bake because the bread was too high in the pan. - 9/18/12

     Great taste, very moist.(used 3 bananas) The loads of eggs give it a bit of a popover texture. Replaced the honey with 1 Tbsp agave and the butter with coconut oil. Kids liked it the way it is but if making for just me, would add nuts and some flax seeds for texture. - 9/4/12

     Best banana bread ever! And that includes bread made with regular flour. I made it exactly according to the recipe (3 medium bananas) and it was moist, fluffy, firm, and smooth - no graininess at all like some gluten-free breads. Husband loved it! Can't praise this recipe enough! - 6/7/12
  • AMANDADRAUGHON
     Amazing!!!! I made muffins with the recipe did everything exactly the same, just put in muffin tins and baked for about 20 minutes. I also used carob chips instead of the nuts. Great recipe!

     Great recipe! We made this today! - 4/8/18
  • HJENGEL
     I read that avocados can be used interchangeably with butter, so I used a small avocado instead of the butter. Came out great. - 5/6/17
  • PINKD333
     This recipe is easy, delicious, and healthy. I have made it without honey and salt and it worked just fine! Very moist, thanks for sharing this one. - 5/16/16

     I made muffins and they turned out tasty. Not at all salty as some have stated, but it could use a bit more sweetness in my opinion. I added 1 T ground flax seeds, 1 T chia seeds and 1 T water to make up for the additional dry ingredients. Sprinkled raw sugar on the tops before baking, yum! - 9/25/15

     I created an account just so I could rate this recipe. I can't believe the overall high rating it has! The consistency is great, I'll give it that. BUT, it has no taste and the salt was completely overwhelming. I might try again with less salt and even more bananas. Recipe should be updated. - 1/17/15

     Ok I'm going to try this😛 I'll let you know my results later today. - 10/4/14

     I have a question about the measuring on the flour. You said 1/2 Cup is that packed, loose, spooned into the cup, or measured in grams? GF recipes are very specific, and I have found if I don't ask this I get soggy or dense bread. Also, can we add a little Stevia if this is not sweet enough? - 9/17/14
  • BILROL9
     I tried this bread yesterday & was very, very happy w/the results. I did cut the soda & baking powder down to 1/2 tea, bread still turned out light & fluffy. I have tried other paleo banana bread recipes but they always seemed to turn out mushy, thanks for a great recipe :-) - 5/22/14
  • BGIRL320
     This banana bread was fantastic. Instead of nuts, I added 2 Tbsp of ground flax seed and 3 Tbsp of shredded coconut. The aroma while cooking was devine - wish I had a candle in that scent. The loaf was beautiful when done and tasted even better. Before serving, I sprinkled some coconut sugar on top. - 9/5/13

     Simple to make, and very tasty. I used cacao chips in place of nuts. Delish. - 3/24/13
