Used different ingredients. I used 4 bananas for this recipe and made muffins, baking for 20-25 minutes. I added walnuts, chocolate chips and sultanas separately to some of the muffins and left a few plain (I liked the ones with sultanas best). I didn't have wheatgerm but added some apple sauce (about 5 tablespoons) to help alleviate the dryness. A very tasty recipe. - 14 Jul 2008
Altered ingredient amounts. Very tasty - I've made this three times and adding extra bananas helps with the dryness, but then, so does spreading the warm bread with a little butter! Bottom line: an easy, healthy recipe. - 14 Jul 2008
Used different ingredients. My husband really likes this bread. It is quite easy to make since there is no rise time or yeast in the recipe. I found it a tad dry. I also took my bread out of the oven at 55 minutes and it was a little overdone on the edges. Definitely check your bread loaf for doneness frequently after 45 minutes. I added sunflower seeds and chopped walnuts and that was very good. - 14 Jul 2008
