A great big thank you.

[@MrsPlantinTexas]

You both are the absolute MOST ENTERTAINING ladies! I adore watching you cook and listen to your commentary. HUGS FROM TEXAS!

[@ShenZA6]

I love it when your mom says "stop" and you adorably behave just like her little obedient girl. Love your family!!

[@MadlyinLovewithJesus-1953]

Are you sure you don't have that backwards? It seems like it's usually the daughter saying "stop" and the mom acting like the obedient little girl. (But sneaks a walnut when Jane is not looking.) LOL. SO cute.

[@MargaretCSullivan]

Not only does it look yummy but you two are a hoot.

[@mysunnypie]

I love watching you both! I always laugh at the the banter and appreciate the mother-daughter dynamics. So cute when Ann popped the walnut in her mouth!

[@capaddler]

Just made this yesterday. I switched the flour to 2 cups of oat flour (which I blended from oat flakes) (I didn’t have whole wheat flour) and a half cup of coconut flour. I used a little walnuts and pistachio nuts. It was so good. Thanks for sharing.

[@elsjemassyn8921]

Mother and daughter baking together thats amazing!!

[@laurieanne9712]

You have to be one of my favorites--just your relaxed, unscripted jabber makes me smile every time---thank you! Off to make banana bread!

Thank you for inviting us into your kitchen while you bake. It's always a pleasant visit!!!

I made this recipe this morning and it did not disappoint!!! Added bonus it made my kitchen smell amazing!!!! I just love watching you two!

[@lyndapickhardt188]

Have all the cookbooks and Whole Food, Plant Based books from the Tribe. I put this video on Pause and went and made this wonderful Badass Banana Bread...Ann, I added the raisins along with chopped walnuts and garnished with walnut halves, in honor of you Jane, I am also an R.N. it's been out of the oven an hour....I ate a piece and Yum! I have to add, I love your kitchen...it's my kind of cozy kitchen and I enjoy your videos in a big way. And, I love how you both dress!!! Merry Christmas to you both and your wonderful family!!!

[@marymcandrew7667]

lynda pickhardt I have the Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease book and the Plant Strong book but it's not in either. Where can I find it?

[@naomiefoster3843]

You two ladies are fabulous! If you wet the parchment paper and then wring it out it’ll easily and quickly go into any shape tin or container.

[@noemiybarra2835]

Oooo, thanks for posting that! I am going to give it a try!

[@CastledarkDweller27]

dont need to wet it even. just screw it up in a tight ball. then unwrap it. goes into the cake tin & stays in place.

[@tijuannajenkins8722]

I just love your mom! She makes eating plants fun and exciting... I like raisins to😍👍

[@TomJudson]

This is truly fantastic and is not plagued by the "rubbery" crust common to most oil-free baked goods. My slight alteration: I substituted 2 medjool dates for the maple syrup. It provides the same level of sweetness with added fiber. I've made versions with raisins/walnuts, apricots/pecans and cranberry/orange peel. I also made your wonderful silken tofu mousse/frosting and flavored it with cranberries and orange peel and used it as a spread for the bread. Simply wonderful. Thanks for another great recipe.

[@TammyD247]

😭😭😭 I don't have one banana to my name right now. How could I let this happen? Seriously, love you guys! I'm like you Jane, I'll say badass, but it's so charming that your mom refuses to do so publicly. Always love your videos! They bring warmth to the soul on a cold winter day.

[@megatuanis]

Every part of your comment was awesome and made me smile! Thank you! The first paragraph was hilarious, plus I understand because I always keep a ton of bananas around.

[@TammyD247]

@@megatuanis Thanks for letting me know, now you have made my day! 😊

[@Michelle777-l2w]

chopped dates would be good in it too.

[@lyndapickhardt188]

I'll do that next! Great idea!

[@GlammyBee]

Lol, you ladies are a treat to watch! Love you both! It's four years later (2023), and I made the PB Woman Warrior book version. OMG! So very good! I made it with raisins, and since I had some pecans to use up, I finely chopped a small amount (I do that to use fewer nuts, but the pecan flavor is more distributed). I plan to have this for breakfasts this week. Thank you!!

[@kimmyjeans2]

I am running to my book shelf and then the grocery store. And yup per your suggestion I am adding raisins lol

[@mazzie.9071]

Hello, I just made this recipe and it turned out great despite the fact that I did not have whole wheat flour I used instead 1 cup instead oats and 1cup cassava flour. Next, I did not have 3 medium spotted banans so I used 2 banana and 1 cup steamed pumpkin and no applesauce so I chopped up an apple. I also do not use sugar or maple syrup so I used 11 deglat dates and had to add more water. I believe that cooking involves a lot of improvising. Thanks again for another delicious recipe.

[@fanyloo9859]

Yess 👏👏 when it comes to cooking or baking theres always a solution to find:)

[@suzyq6767]

I needed your cheer this morning. Keep these fun and informative videos coming. Thank you. I will make this for our Christmas splurge. Thanks again.

[@CampMelp]

FYI It’s delicious without the maple syrup, too, if anybody’s wanting to keep sugars lower! I add in ground flax and ground hemp hearts to make it a little more filling & get in my omega 3s, too!

[@ellistarceansa8182]

*LOVE THIS SHOW!!!* ... and I'm totally with Ann on using the whole tub of apple sauce and definitely on adding RAISINS!!! :-)

[@alixestamatogiannaki]

I love how REAL you guys are about everything! I learn more about how to cook this way (and how to live this way) from that. Thank you so much.

[@suzyq6767]

So I went ahead and made this today. I used 4 bananas and no maple syrup. It's definitely sweet enough. I used all oat flour. I added butter flavoring and substituted 1 t pumpkin pie spice for the nutmeg and lemon juice for the apple cider vinegar. So it wouldn't be too gooey, I added 2T flax seed meal. My add-in was dried currents; they are tiny and you get a bit in every bite. Well, ladies, I haven't had sweet bread or anything cakey for years. These were worth waiting for. Thank you for all you do.

[@susanbarbella3477]

Im afraid when i make this i also will eat the whole batch, cause thats what i always have done with home baked goods but i havent been too naughty this past year so a few plant based treats this birthday / christmas month will be so satisfying and less guilt i imagine eating my own controlled ingredient sweets 😊

I put raisins in my banana bread on occasion. I like dark chocolate chunks too, but walnuts are my favorite.

[@janiegulick5674]

Oh my, YUM! How about dates or chunks of apple mixed in? I’ll be making this soon, I’ve got LOTS of really ripe bananas in the freezer just waiting for a recipe like this. Thanks Anne and Jane

[@MadlyinLovewithJesus-1953]

Dates sound great! But since I usually don't like raisins in anything I should probably try them in this.

❤❤😮😮 coconut goes well with bananas ❤❤😮😮

[@donnahardin4651]

Can you tell me - oat flour is heart healthier than regular all purpose flour?? Love your videos

[@serendipitysue3255]

I put ripe bananas in the freezer until I have enough to bake bread with. Peel or not your choice. I sometimes thaw them out and put them in hot oatmeal and they blend right in to sweeten it up.

[@megatuanis]

I also place them in the freezer when they are way too ripened, but definitely without the peel because it's super hard to peel a frozen banana. :)

[@emmanuellalo4717]

love this i want do banana bread now

[@MTknitter22]

Ann ate the sacrum !! lol 😛😛

[@debbieotto2258]

Are you using no sodium added baking powder and baking soda? Or just the everyday regular kind?

[@barrbuff]

Ann, I EAT any applesauce left over! Put it in the frig and it's lost forever! I'm with you!

[@rosalie9388]

what is the best gluten free sub for the whole wheat flour in this recipe?

[@kensac72]

Looks easy & quick banana bread. Do u have to use oat flour? Have other ingredients but oat flour. Love your videos.

[@chars.9780]

Ann I hear ya... I too hate wasting the extra applesauce after the couple TBSP. I need is used. My solution... just eat the leftovers 😋

[@JRR31984]

So, do you think it was better with the fourth banana... It looked as expected, though I'm wondering if that's why the top looked bigger than expected. Never saw the walnuts like that, but loved your description of the vertebrae :)

[@vonneblazier814]

Hang in there Jane. Moms will be moms always.

[@gailvanderwalde9597]

This recipe also works very well with chickpea flour.❤️🙏👍

[@daughteroftherighteousking8809]

You didn't say if the extra 🍌 made it too moist. It looks like it was ok. I'm with you Ann, I have to use the whole cup of applesauce. 😂. I love this is GF bcus of the oat flour.

[@dianedraveski6485]

Yummmmmmm!

[@sn232]

Question: Did you like it better with 3 or 4 bananas once it was cooked??? Thanks!

[@JB-ox7ib]

That’s what I was wondering😊.
