Member Comments About this Recipe

"Whenever I bake with whole grains I use King Arthur Flour - it is by far the finest, smoothest whole grain flour I have found. We also substitute 25% of the flour with Wheatgerm - so yummy and healthy! I used half bananas and half shredded zucchini - these turned out so yummy!" -- MANDIESMITH "I have a similar recipe that I like very much. I will have to try this one and compare the two!" -- PAMMYJO "Did you know you can make the 1/3 c buttermilk for this recipe by using 1/3 c skim milk and adding a teaspoon of vinegar, then letting it sit for 10 minutes? I tried it, and it worked. Yummy recipe!" -- CLOUDCATCHER "I use more bananas as well. They make it super moist and I love the extra sweetness they give it." -- CPMILLER3 "this is a good recipe for banana nut bread and i love banana nut bread." -- BECKYSUEMILLER Report Inappropriate Comment
