Just tried this recipe, in the oven now, and realized there is no baking soda or powder in this recipe... hope it turns out!

Hi Vicki,

Self-rising flour contains the leaveners, so is usually sufficient. Some recipes add baking soda and/or baking powder, but it your self-rising flour is fresh (6 months or less on the shelf) you should need to add anything unless your batter is very heavy.

Self-rising flour has baking powder, baking soda and salt in it already. (That's what differentiates it from all purpose flour, and what causes it to rise).

I made this recipe without the vanilla (didnt have any available) and substituted the 1/2 stick of butter for a 1/4 cup crisco 1 1/2 tsp water. I also very lightly greased the bottom of my pan. The bread turned out beautifully! I'm not sure how long I baked it, I just waited until I saw the golden-brown surface. I would definitely give this recipe a try. It was easy, convenient, and delicious! Kudos :)

You didn't make this recipe then; you made your own.

I added chocolate chips to the mixture after everything was mixed together, and YUM!!!!

I followed the recipe to a Tee, then, like Holly from Florida, added a handful of chocolate chips. Can you say "HEAVEN"?!?!? This was so good, and soooo easy! I had some over-ripe bananas I didn't have the heart to throw out, as I hate to waste money, so I went web surfing for banana bread! Thank goodness this is the recipe I found, as it is super, easy, and SUPER EASY!!!

I just made this as well...I even added cranberries!!! In one word - PERFECT!!!

Ho fatto anche questo...Ho anche aggiunto i mirtilli!!! In una parola - PERFETTO!!!

Molto Grazie!

If your bananas get over ripe and you don't have time to make your banana bread just throw them in the freezer peel and all. They thaw very fast, when needed.

Has anyone adapted this recipe to small loaf pans? I have to make 20 loaves for my husband's office. Thanks!

I think you should 5x the recipe as I got 4 mini loaves out of this recipe

I just made this. It turned out great. I added walnuts to the mixer and it was very good. Thanks do much for the recipe

Hello, I tried this recipe. Added a bit more butter, 3 eggs, 1 tsp baking powder and a bit of baking soda because I bake a lot. The recipe turned out great, just make sure you grease the pan and add a bit of flour and shake off any excess flour. It will stick to pan. Enjoy. Bye bye!

I only had 2 bananas so I tweaked the recipe to 1 1/4 cup sugar threw in some cinnamon and also added a tsp of baking powder. I mixed in almonds and chocolate chips because I had them on hand. It was my first time baking a banana bread and it was excellent!

I usually use this recipe but I like 3/4 cup sugar and 1/2 cup brown sugar instead. Also, I like to have banana pieces in the bread so I don't mash the bananas too well. ":)

I made two loaves out of this recipe! Really easy to make! In the oven now will report back!

I made this recipe and added 1/2 cup peanut butter and 1/2 cup chopped walnuts. This was so delicious and my family loved it!
