EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

We've replaced ingredients with great-tasting alternatives to create better-for-you recipes that are just as yummy as the originals.

Bananas are at their sweetest when very ripe, flecked with brown and very soft. Extra unpeeled bananas can be bagged and frozen up to a month. Just thaw, cut off the end of the peel and squeeze the banana into your mixing bowl.

You can substitute about 1/2 cup dried currants or dried cranberries for the walnuts.

*To toast walnuts, heat oven to 350°F. Spread walnuts in shallow pan. Bake uncovered 6 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until light brown.

This is a great recipe. My picky husband absolutely loves it and so does my 4 year-old daughter. I especially love it because now I have a use for the ripe bananas we would otherwise never eat. This recipe has become such a hit in our house, that my daughter and I have made every Sunday our banana bread baking day. The only thing we have done different to this recipe is make muffins instead of a loaf (recipe yields exactly 12 muffins filled 3/4 of the way to the top) and we have substituted the walnuts with chocolate chips for an absolutely delicios banana muffin!

We did not care for this banana bread. It was not bad, but it did not taste good. It was kind of a chore to eat it.
