I want to thank EVERYONE who leaves a comment in our recipe comment sections!! Beginners learn a lot from your tips & recipe variations. Below are some of our recent visitor comments.

You should read Lisa‘s total overhaul of our No Butter Banana Bread recipe (lots of fantastic additions) – “I made this but changed it up a bit and added shredded coconut , dark cocoa powder and 3 teaspoons of orange essence with dark chocolate chips . Instead of sugar also I just used 3 table spoons of honey and OH MY GOD IT WAS UNREAL !!!!!“
Pamela left a very funny comment on our Bread Machine French Bread Recipe page – “Thank you for not only the recipe but also for the helpful tips. I made 4 baguettes out of this recipe. When I turned around somehow one had “disappeared” from the rack! Suspect: husband with crumbs on his lips and cheshire cat smile!”
Jennifer posted an amazing upgrade to our Greek yogurt banana bread – “I made the Greek yogurt banana bread and added blueberries. I doubled the recipe and made it in a huge old-school bundt pan, putting layers of streusle topping between layers of batter, then topped with icing after inverting the finished product. Perfection! As usual, your recipe is fool proof and insanely delicious.“
Djalynn left a fantastic comment about our Buttermilk Banana Bread – “Sorry this is long- After trying to find my great aunt’s recipe for years. I have literally gone through dozens and I tried yours before he got home”… “He took his, bite stopped dead in his tracks and said, ” OMG, THIS is the one”. I laughed and said, “I said the exact same but Don’t Thank me, Thank the Bread Dad”.
Mearl posted a wonderful story about our No Butter Banana Bread – “Love the banana bread recipe. No butter- oil. My husband is a long distance trucker. I make this in mini loaves- presliced- for his trips. Makes a great breakfast with his coffee. Just a little love from home.“
