This recipe is so Awesome. My family and I have never really cared for banana bread, so when I found myself with 6 overly ripe bananas I didn’t know what to do with them. So I thought I would make bread and take it to work. I substituted the walnuts with chocolate chips and withing 20 min. out of the oven, the bread was half gone! My husband, his friend and our son devoured over half the bread in one sitting! Now..they are hoping the bananas will get too ripe to eat, so I can make the bread again! Many thanks!

I loved this recipe! I was about to make one from scratch when I realized I was out of baking soda. I came on here to look for something easy and I found it! I probably won’t make my old recipe anymore! My whole family enjoyed it right out of the oven! BIG HIT! Thanks Eleanor!

I only try recipes that are easy and tasty. This one fits the bill! I added a touch of cinnamon and used the “lite” version of the baking mix and it turned out great!!! The texture is wonderful and not heavy like most banana breads. I will definitely make this again…it may replace my family recipe.

I used reduced fat Bisquick and added 2 tbs. of plain yogurt. I also decided to top the loaf with a butter crumb topping; using butter, brown sugar and flour. When it was almost finished baking, I peeked in and the whole center of the loaf had swallowed the crumbs literally…lol. I must have used too much butter to my flour ratio…oops! It still turned out and the missing crumbs were hiding out at the bottom of the loaf! Very easy recipe~thanks for sharing!

Really enjoyed this super easy recipe – very hard to flub this one up. I tried this one because I was out of a few typical ingredients like baking soda. I actually added a hand full of chocolate chips to the mixture and a little extra dash of vanilla extract. I was a little short on the bananas, but with the chocolate chips and extra vanilla flavor, you would never know (or care) Serve warmed (toasted or microwaved).

WOW- this is way better than I thought it would be! And SO EASY! I didn’t have quite enough walnuts, so I threw in some pecans, too. I used 4 bananas since that is how many I had rotting on my counter! Might want to cover the top loosely with foil the last 15-20 minutes to prevent over-browning. Mine was done in 55 minutes. Be sure to “generously grease bottom of pan” like it says- I sprayed mine pretty good with Pam, but it still stuck a little. Who cares- this bread is truly very good! I will make this again for sure! Thanks Eleanor for another great recipe!

I love the basic part of this recipe. I did end up adding about double the banana, because the way this is, it seemed too cake like and not very banana tasting. I like my bread to be heavy and dark, and this was light. Otherwise an excellent base to many breads! Thank you for sharing!

Very easy and very good – will definitely make this recipe again. It’s lighter than more traditional recipes, both in texture and in calories. I made a few adjustments, based on previous reviews: I used low-fat Bisquick; I used brown sugar instead of white sugar; and I reduced the sugar to 3/4 cup, because I increased the bananas to 1 3/4 cup (4 bananas).

I used this recipe to make muffins with just a few changes. I used 2ish cups of bananas, substituted Splenda for the sugar and added a couple of shakes of artificial brown sugar. I also used the low fat Bisquick. It made two dozen small muffins that my family loved! I reduced the baking time to 25 minutes. Thanks for the recipe and the reviews.OK, I made this again and added chocolate chips to the batter, WOW, very yummy muffins.

I used this recipe because I was out of baking soda. I also used Aunt Jemima Pancake & Waffle Mix instead of Bisquick. I took the advice of others and used 3/4 cup brown sugar. I was pleasantly surprised at the results – a decent banana bread. It’s not as moist and not as rich as other banana breads, but it still tasted good and had good texture. It works great in a pinch, when you do not have all the ingredients called for in traditional recipes.

This is a nice quick recipe that is very forgiving with modifications. Since I only had two bananas, I added a 17 oz jar of apple butter and was able to cut out the oil, the sugar, and didn’t need to add spices, and I used pecans because that was all I had. The only thing I would change is to possibly put in two pans because I had some run over – but that might have been because of the apple butter. Moist and not too dense.

Just what I was looking for today; something quick and easy to use up the six overipe bananas I had. I eliminated the oil and used applesauce in its place, threw in a cup of sour cream just because I wanted to get rid of it and also added a cup of oats for fun. The bread turned out moist and delicious. Thanks Eleanor!

This was a good recipe as I was out of flour> I like heavier breads so I doubled the recipe and added one cup of flax for half the oil 4 cups of bananas as I had a stack in the freezer. 5 eggs, 4 cups baking mix and 2/3 cup of bran, 11/2 cups brown sugar. I use glass bread pans that I oiled well. oven at 325 Degrees and baked it for about 1hr 15 min I think I forgot whan I put it in the oven. Came out very moist and nice a brown throughout. Thanks for the basic recipe.

I never thought a bisquick type recipe would taste so good! Like I usually do for banana bread recipes, I used applesauce for all but a tablespoon of the oil, used extra vanilla and added about 1/2 cup of chocolate chips. My husband said, “It’s not good, it’s too good!” I liked this recipe because it was not as dense as the regular banana bread I make. I will make this on a regular basis to use up those bananas! Thank you!

OH MY! This is yummy. Made it just like the recipe but used 4 bananas b/c thats how many I had getting over ripe! Also, made it in an 8×8 glass dish instead of a loaf pan as my loaf pan was in use. I disagree with those who thought it wasn’t moist…it was moist, flavorful and delish!

This is some good stuff and so easy to make! DH raved about it, especially about the light texture. If you like traditional or heavy BB, this probably won’t appeal to you but it is very yummy! I made it last night and there is only a little left! I omitted the nuts and added a handful of chocolate chips. I made muffins, baked at 325 degrees for 26 minutes

My family is big on banana bread. I have my own recipe that has done us well for 18 yrs. But this recipe is definitely a keeper. Very quick and easy! Though it is missing the heaviness of “homeade” banana bread it is still moist and sweet. I made is as is and wouldn’t change a thing about it. Thank you.

Very good recipe…I had 4 bananas turning so I wanted a recipe where I would have all the ingredients. Sister loved it…the whole thing is almost gone!
Used a 9×9 glass pan (it baked a lot quicker), subbed splenda for the sugar, and canola for the veg oil to make a little healthier.
Will make again! -

We loved this recipe! Following others’ advice, we used apple sauce instead of vegetable oil, 3/4 cup brown sugar rather than 1 cup white sugar, 1/2 cup chocolate chips, and we added a few shakes of pumpkin pie spice. The first time, we made a loaf – it was great! Today, we made muffins – the recipe made more than 3 dozen mini muffins, so we used to rest to make 4 full-size muffins. (We only had 3 mini tins.) We baked the mini-muffins for 20 minutes – I think 18-19 would have been perfect, but they were very good. The regular muffins took about 22 minutes, and they were perfect. 2 large (very brown) bananas was plenty for us; my 7-year-olds enjoyed smashing the bananas, and this was a nice, simple recipe for us to make together.

Loved the ease of this recipe plus the ability to substitute and still come up with a great product. Had no Trader Joe’s nor any Bisquick so I used pancake mix. Figured ‘what the heck’ I’d try and it turned out great- very moist. Followed prior reviews- increased # of bananas b.c we had so many and added cinnamon (deleted nuts- peanut allergy in our home).
Is an esy recipe for my son’s to make also when they have a craving for BB.

This was super easy! I only had 2 bananas so I 1/2 the recipe and baked in to small loaf pans for 30 mins. They came out perfect. I didn’t add the nuts. The only thing that could have been different is there was not a very strong banana flavor. Side note I used Jiffy baking mix.

used hodgin mills (sp) multigrain mix w flaxseed and soy, enova oil, and half splenda half honey. Added cinnamon, a small teaspoon of baking powder, and lots of walnut and cinnamon. Used 4 very ripe medium bananas. Baked in a 9×11 pan for about 30min – came out fluffy and nutty. Could’ve used more banana to make it a bit more moist. But excellent flavor and texture. and good for you too!

Very good and soooo simple! I used 1/2c brown sugar & 1/2c sugar. 4 bananas (I didn’t measure). Baked in 5 mini loaf pans for 35 minutes. It turned out perfect. I have been searching for a tasty and easy banana bread recipe for awhile and I think I have found it! I have had a problem in the past with the middle of the bread staying to gooey. This one baked up just right. If your looking for a heavy, dense bread this is not the recipe for you. It’s a lighter bread but with all the flavor. Yummy!!

This recipe is awesome! It was so easy to put together. I really liked the idea of using a baking mix. I added 1/4 tsp cinnamon to my loaf and that was perfect! The only thing I could mention was that it was a bit sunken in the middle – maybe adding a small amount of baking powder would help that. Very moist and delicious! My 4 year old gave it rave reviews!!

I was a little hestitant to use Bisquick as the “flour” in this bread but was so curious as to how it would taste I gave it a try. I LOVED IT!!!!
I just might make this my main banana bread recipe from now on. I too added the cinnamon and used 5 very ripe bananas. Thanks for this recipe—my children loved it too. -

this was the easiest and quickest recipe, and it tastes great!!!!
I had people stopping by to see our new baby and was able to pull this off in just over an hour and still serve it warm. They thought I was very together for a new mom!
Little did they know how wasy it was, Thanks!!! -

My 11 year old wanted banana bread and we found this recipe and he made it! He did use 1/2 brown sugar and 1/2 white sugar and he did not use any nuts…he has braces and can’t eat nuts right now. He said it was delicious! I do not eat banana bread, so I am going by an 11 year old’s taste buds. He said for us to be sure and buy extra bananas next time so he can make this again!

I improvised a lot, but I was glad to have this recipe to start with. I started out having overripe bananas but not enough flour, so I sought out a recipe that called for baking mix. Then I didn’t have nuts or vanilla. I left the nuts out, but used rum in place of vanilla. Then I borrowed and doubled a topping from “Banana Praline Muffins” without the nuts again (sour cream & brown sugar). I didn’t have a loaf pan, so I used a 9 x 13 cake pan, and it came out perfect in only 20 minutes! My husband RAVED over it, and it was so simple. Next time, I might try to add some other spices like cinnamon, as mentioned in other reviews, and hopefully I’ll have some vanilla around.
