I’ve made it many times. I would never cook ANYTHING with margarine, I always use butter. Salted butter typically. I usually put walnuts in it, sometimes I’ll add blueberries. It always turns out wonderful. I prefer honey to white sugar, but that’s a personal preference, brown sugar is great, too. Easy, tasty and personalizable.\n\n03 of 263\n\n![]()\n\nPhoto by  Julie Lema Weyhrauch\n\n09\/07\/2025\n\nA keeper\\!\n\nMy family likes cinnamon & sugar. So I greased the pan and then put 3 teaspoons of cinnamon & sugar in loaf pans dusted it like flour. I also sprinkled cinnamon & sugar on top.I made a double batch. I used 1 cup white sugar and one cup packed brown sugar plus 2 teaspoons cinnamon. I also added 1 cup pecans to one loaf..My family loved it. They said make it again.💖\n\n04 of 263\n\n![]()\n\nPhoto by  Anne Robertson\n\n08\/17\/2025\n\nWorth the effort\n\nA keeper\\!\n\nI doubled the recipe and added choc chips.

Kid friendly easy to follow steps. Glad I made this. Used b butter instead of margarine. My go to recipe from years ago.\n\n07 of 263\n\n![]()\n\nPhoto by  Debbie Bryan\n\n10\/18\/2024\n\nA keeper\\!\n\nEasy to follow\n\nWorth the effort\n\nI followed others advice and added salt, vanilla, cinnamon and walnuts. I made 12 muffins that I baked for about 25 minutes. Delicious.\n\n08 of 263\n\n![]()\n\nPhoto by  CalmWhey6735\n\n07\/26\/2024\n\nI swapped out the margarine for butter because who eats margarine? I added a little bit of apple cider vinegar to activate the baking soda' cause I didn't have baking powder. I didn't really measure the bananas but I added three, maybe that was why my batter was a bit dry so I added a little mixture of sour cream and yoghurt. I also added salt and vanilla extract to add flavour and a couple chopped up walnuts and only put 3\/4 cups of sugars because I felt like 1 whole cup was a bit much. I baked it at 170 C for 55 minutes and it's nice golden brown. Over all very nice taste with everything I added.\n\n09 of 263\n\n![]()\n\nPhoto by  Light\n\n07\/11\/2024\n\nOK with tweaks\n\nRetired chef chiming in here! ...So, uh. Who in their right mind uses MARGARINE in this day and age? Dear god. Margarine... we only ate that stuff out of desperation and the erroneous idea that it was better for us. We've come to learn that it's not. Nobody should have it in their fridge or cupboard anymore. So... if you made this exactly as printed and thought it was missing something, it's BUTTER. Your grandma, aunt, friend... whoever you knew that made the best banana bread? I guarantee you they didn't use margarine. They used BUTTER. In this case, use salted butter, or add about 1\/2 tsp of salt if you're using unsalted. If you can't eat animal products, unrefined coconut oil that's butter-texture at room temp, plus the same 1\/2 tsp of salt, will add a good layer of flavor, too. Okay? Okay.-I divided into two loaves, because I wanted nuts in mine, and my husband doesn't like them. It still took them 70 minutes. Definitely recommend people get out their thermometers and just test for when it's 200F (93.5C) internally. There's no way to know what the starting temp of the ingredients was, and that's almost always true with baked goods. I have a wonderfully air conditioned apartment in Denver. Room temp ingredients for me are about 65F. Some of y'all might be living in Florida, making this in June with no A\/C, so your ingredients are 90F already at the start. Obviously, mine's gonna take longer to get done; if you're in a hot area, you might burn before you even hit 50 minutes. This is a good general tip, not just with this bread.-Would be a 5-star recipe if they updated to butter. Cannot POSSIBLY go above 4-star while it's still printed with margarine. It's inferior in flavor and it's actually quite bad for you. You shouldn't use it for anything.\n\n10 of 263\n\n![]()\n\nPhoto by  DandySeed8279\n\n02\/27\/2024\n\nA keeper\\!\n\nGreat flavors\n\nEasy to follow\n\nWorth the effort\n\n1. 1\n2.

Add Your Photo ## Photos of The Best Banana Bread 01 of 263 ![]() Photo by Allrecipes Member 02 of 263 ![]() Photo by MamaBear 10/17/2025 A keeper\! Great flavors Easy to follow Worth the effort Family favorite This recipe is fantastic!!! I’ve made it many times. I would never cook ANYTHING with margarine, I always use butter. Salted butter typically. I usually put walnuts in it, sometimes I’ll add blueberries. It always turns out wonderful. I prefer honey to white sugar, but that’s a personal preference, brown sugar is great, too. Easy, tasty and personalizable. 03 of 263 ![]() Photo by Julie Lema Weyhrauch 09/07/2025 A keeper\! My family likes cinnamon & sugar. So I greased the pan and then put 3 teaspoons of cinnamon & sugar in loaf pans dusted it like flour. I also sprinkled cinnamon & sugar on top.I made a double batch. I used 1 cup white sugar and one cup packed brown sugar plus 2 teaspoons cinnamon. I also added 1 cup pecans to one loaf..My family loved it. They said make it again.💖 04 of 263 ![]() Photo by Anne Robertson 08/17/2025 Worth the effort A keeper\! I doubled the recipe and added choc chips. Love this Recipe!\! 05 of 263 ![]() Photo by BriskSpoon3033 11/13/2024 Crowd-pleaser Haven't made it yet got half way through and now on my way to the store for eggs and milk- Haha now about an hour latter it's cooking right now we ended up adding an extra banana butter instead of margarine and vanilla extract decided to put cinnamon sugar on top I will tell you how it turns out- Ate dinner then finally tried the cooled bread So delicious the while family loved it 06 of 263 ![]() Photo by bellamia 10/21/2024 A keeper\! Easy to follow Crowd-pleaser Family favorite Worth the effort Great flavors So easy and delicious! Kid friendly easy to follow steps. Glad I made this. Used b butter instead of margarine. My go to recipe from years ago. 07 of 263 ![]() Photo by Debbie Bryan 10/18/2024 A keeper\! Easy to follow Worth the effort I followed others advice and added salt, vanilla, cinnamon and walnuts. I made 12 muffins that I baked for about 25 minutes. Delicious. 08 of 263 ![]() Photo by CalmWhey6735 07/26/2024 I swapped out the margarine for butter because who eats margarine? I added a little bit of apple cider vinegar to activate the baking soda' cause I didn't have baking powder. I didn't really measure the bananas but I added three, maybe that was why my batter was a bit dry so I added a little mixture of sour cream and yoghurt. I also added salt and vanilla extract to add flavour and a couple chopped up walnuts and only put 3/4 cups of sugars because I felt like 1 whole cup was a bit much. I baked it at 170 C for 55 minutes and it's nice golden brown. Over all very nice taste with everything I added. 09 of 263 ![]() Photo by Light 07/11/2024 OK with tweaks Retired chef chiming in here! ...So, uh. Who in their right mind uses MARGARINE in this day and age? Dear god. Margarine... we only ate that stuff out of desperation and the erroneous idea that it was better for us. We've come to learn that it's not. Nobody should have it in their fridge or cupboard anymore. So... if you made this exactly as printed and thought it was missing something, it's BUTTER. Your grandma, aunt, friend... whoever you knew that made the best banana bread? I guarantee you they didn't use margarine. They used BUTTER. In this case, use salted butter, or add about 1/2 tsp of salt if you're using unsalted. If you can't eat animal products, unrefined coconut oil that's butter-texture at room temp, plus the same 1/2 tsp of salt, will add a good layer of flavor, too. Okay? Okay.-I divided into two loaves, because I wanted nuts in mine, and my husband doesn't like them. It still took them 70 minutes. Definitely recommend people get out their thermometers and just test for when it's 200F (93.5C) internally. There's no way to know what the starting temp of the ingredients was, and that's almost always true with baked goods. I have a wonderfully air conditioned apartment in Denver. Room temp ingredients for me are about 65F. Some of y'all might be living in Florida, making this in June with no A/C, so your ingredients are 90F already at the start. Obviously, mine's gonna take longer to get done; if you're in a hot area, you might burn before you even hit 50 minutes. This is a good general tip, not just with this bread.-Would be a 5-star recipe if they updated to butter. Cannot POSSIBLY go above 4-star while it's still printed with margarine. It's inferior in flavor and it's actually quite bad for you. You shouldn't use it for anything. 10 of 263 ![]() Photo by DandySeed8279 02/27/2024 A keeper\!
