I love this recipe.. I've made it before and everyone loves it, but this time while I was making it I decided to add two table spoons of peanut butter to it. Absolutely love them! The peanut butter gives it a twist .. anyway tasty lol :) - 9/15/10

Good recipe. I switched out half the flour for whole wheat, the oil for unsweetened apple sauce and keep the walnuts for those omega 3's. It came out great. - 8/17/08

Just made them for the third or fourth time for my students and staff at school, last time I posted on facebook, one of the social workers was down my wing 3 times! The kids say they are "fire" the new term for good . I make them with only a half a cup of sugar and all are happy with them. - 3/12/19

These were very good. I have a gas stove and am not sure if it makes a difference, but 325 was a bit too hot for them. I was distracted and wasn't paying much attention so they ended up a bit dry (I made muffins and bread... the muffins turned out better)... operators error!! haha... thanks! - 8/28/08

I thought that it was really really good! I made three mini loaves and had them bake for 40 min each. I think that next time I make this however, I am going to add a tsp of salt. VERY GOOD!! Thanks for helping me get rid of my ripe bananas!!! - 4/20/08

Sorry, 1 tsp. of salt was actually in the recipe, but I haven't put salt in my food for years (I grew up with a mother with VERY high blood pressure). :) I'm sure salt would be a lovely addition, I'm glad you enjoyed the bread.
