This is my go-to recipe. My teenage boys require I make two loaves so they can each have one! I make it probably once a month. It’s perfect!
Hi Amanda,
I can relate; I have three boys 🙂 Take care!
Loved it!! Easy and so delicious! Best banana bread I’ve baked. Will certainly keep making and sharing. I followed the recipe exactly and was surprised that no milk was needed. Thanks!
Hi Lina,
Glad you were able to try this recipe and had success with it. Take care and thanks for writing!
The only other banana bread recipes that I typically bake are my Grandmother’s and or Joanna Gaines’. Tried this one out tonight for a yummy, cinnamon filled change up—and I’m in love! Adding this to my usual rotation. Thanks for sharing!
You are welcome Sarah!
Thank you so much for the recipe. So delicious. I made one Wednesday night, it was gone that quickly so i made another one Thursday evening, adding one more banana, decreasing amount of flour. Thx again.
You’re welcome Dina! Glad you liked the recipe. Take care and thanks for the feedback 🙂
This banana bread is so so delicious! Hubby and I just sampled it warm, and we both loved it! I’m not the biggest fan of banana bread normally, but I am definitely planning to make this again. The cinnamon swirl does it for me. Thanks so much for sharing it!
You’re welcome Shannon! Glad you and your hubby loved it. Take care and thanks for the feedback 🙂

You’re welcome Babette!
I have made this recipe a few times now and actually have this in the oven again as I’m leaving a comment. This time I have swirled the cinnamon sugar mixture throughout the batter and topped it was crushed pecans. Can’t wait to try to this version.
I made this banana bread recipe and followed it to the T and it came out really good.
I made a double batch of this recipe and ran out of regular flour and used almond flour instead. I hope that it comes out just as good as with regular flour.
Today is my second time making this receipe! Its a great treat for someone who isnt a fan of raw bananas. Ive even gone so far as to create it as a recipe in my fitness pal so I can track it for a snack/desert!
Hi, my name is Norma. I am from Solomon islands. As a mother of my two beautiful girls age 9 and 1years old, I always enjoyed and love cooking. All your dishes are looking delicious. I often find recipes on the internet when I like to cook delicious meals for my family. So I came across your website. I baked your cinnamon swirl banana bread recipe for our picnic last weekend and it came out perfect and delicious. I will try to cook your all banana bread in the future because we have many bananas in the Solomons. My family always love the cinnamon flavors. I will try to cook your curry chicken next time and some of your dishes.thank you for sharing your lovely dishes.
Thanks so much Norma for taking the time to write your experience. I am glad you liked my cinnamon swirl banana bread recipe. Take care 🙂
