  Great! I had a huntch that banana's & walnut's wld make excellent bedfellows. Can't wait to make this recepie today, as I have loads of walnuts that I picked from a Walnut tree this Autumn. Thankyou and have been enjoying Greg Wallaces' cooking show. He is a delightful presenter with passion & heartfelt love for food, that is engaging and have learnt lots from watching the shows. But its all in the practice: so here goes ciao charlottekirby

  Greg, what about the milk? Lots of people said mixture was too dry.

  This fell like a lead balloon after cooking. Stodgy and not very nice. I was the only one who would eat it, toasting it made it just about edible! Do not recommend!

  I found the suggested four bananas made the loaf a bit heavy and stodgy and the loaf seemed to crumble too easy when cut - tried it with one an half quite large bananas instead and around 65ml of milk rather than the 50ml and it was lovely. so easy to make!

  Made this yesterday & had a slice this morning. Yum! Will be making this again. My husband bought me one of these square silicone tins so I used this instead of a loaf tin. Didn't need to line or butter the tin, baked it for the hour stated & it cooked beautifully.

  Made this with my sister, our 4 banana's were very large so it needed about 1hr and a half to cook through, wasn't mixed enough so next time i'll use an electric whisk rather than a wooden spoon.. Maybe i'll use 3 large ones instead next time! We didn't put in the walnuts and it still turned out fantastic!! It was eaten in less than 2 days! Making it again this weekend, just waiting on the bananas to ripen :) So easy, highly recommended!

  Sorry Greg but this is not the best. I have made a few banana loaves over the years but I won't be making this one again. It tastes ok but the appearance and texture are not good. I'll stick to my old recipe from now on.

  Worked very well. I added some grated coconut and a teaspoon of vanilla essence to the bananas before I mixed them in the rest of the ingredients. Added a nice little extra sweetness.

  Great Banana Bread! Tasted fab! Chidren loved it! So quick to make too! Never made anything like this before so a real Baptism by Fire!! Had no white sugar- only Demerara...no problem! Used 4 very old bananas & simply squashed in fingers as added- no mashing! Added a bit of milk at the end of mixing! Easy peasy!

  I made this banana loaf last month and then again today. The 1st time I made it I followed the recipe but I found the mixture a bit too runny, and when cooked, the texture was not great. Today I only added 2 bananas as I don't like an overpowering banana taste and also used brown sugar rather than white, which gave the cake a more sticky texture. I used less milk and the mixture was nice and thick and also added some extra walnuts. Much nicer :)

  Great taste......for grownups. I added choc chips but the kids did not like the walnuts. Would try sweeter nuts next time. However great texture and looked the part. Bit crumbly when I sliced it, but it was still quite warm.

  Really nice, dead easy too. I used up a load of bananas we had and was delighted at the result! Added a bit of chopped chocolate we had in the cupboard and some pecans and walnuts. Going to try some mixed dried fruit next time.

  A really easy to follow and bake recipe with a very satisfying result: a moist and tasty banana loaf. I had a couple of over ripe bananas ( so only used 2 & not the recommended 4) & usually make a banana cake. Don't have a favourite receipe but do now!

  Love this recipe - I seem to often have some over-ripe bananas and this is a perfect use for them. Nice with or without sauce/icecream. Easy recipe. Yum!

  Same as the first poster... where/when do you use the milk??? It tasted nice and was a good treat instead of having a chocolate bar instead.
