Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Can substitute buttermilk or sour cream for yogurt.

    I like the texture of this banana bread. It’s slightly fluffy and the flavor is delicious. I made it in 3 mini loaf pans and baked for 38 minutes.

    Totally respectable banana bread. Even though I used a bit more banana than the recipe called for, it didn’t have a strong banana flavor. Not too sweet - maybe next time would sprinkle some sugar on top. I liked that the loaf had plenty of leavening to keep it light and lofty.

    Definitely one of the best banana bread recipes I've tried. Solid!

    Always in search of perfect banana bread. This was good-nice high rise but banana flavor wasn't as strong as I hoped.

    Pretty basic banana bread. Mine turned out a bit drier than I would have liked and wasn't very moist. I'm still on the hunt for the perfect banana bread recipe.

    This is a solid banana bread- not too sweet- but also not particularly exciting or special.

    I’m always on the hunt for a great banana bread. This one turned out better than some I’ve made but not the best ever. It’s a lighter banana bread and satisfying, especially with chopped walnuts, but I’d like more of a banana feel in my mouth. I really liked the step by step clear instructions. First time using this cookbook( Christmas gift).

    First edition errata: stir in walnuts at same time as yogurt. Source: errata sheet received from King Arthur with my cookbook.

    Great back pocket recipe as long as there are bananas in the freezer. Subbed in some buckwheat flour as I was low on AP flour but 2/3 c was not enough to be detectable. Added in chocolate chips. If there’s any left after today, I’m looking forward to the banana bread french toast!

    Very light texture, especially for a quick bread.

    Very good banana bread. I use this or the one in Cook's Illustrated. I think they are somewhat similar. I like the texture of the bread.
