Homemade Banana Bread image

"I served this quick bread to a group of ladies I had over for lunch," writes Carole Lanthier from Courtice, Ontario, "and every one of them asked for the recipe! It was a big hit." Moist, tasty and studded with cherries and walnuts, this pretty loaf is easily doubled. TIP: This bread freezes well and also makes a lovely holiday or hostess gift.

I've made this banana bread several times, and it always turns out great. It's a great way to use up ripe bananas, and it's always a hit with my family and friends.

This banana bread was a disappointment. The texture was dense and gummy, and the banana flavor was barely there. I won't be making this recipe again.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my banana bread turned out dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This banana bread was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. The texture was moist and fluffy, and the banana flavor was strong. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.

This banana bread turned out amazing! The texture was moist and fluffy, and the flavor was perfectly balanced between sweet and savory. I added a handful of chopped walnuts for extra crunch, and it was a great addition. This recipe is a keeper!
