I followed the recipe precisely, but the bread came out raw in the center. I had to put it back in the oven for another 15 minutes.

The bread didn't rise as much as I expected. Not sure if I did something wrong or if the recipe needs adjusting.

I found the bread to be a bit too sweet for my taste. I might reduce the amount of sugar next time.

This bread was a disappointment. It was very dry and lacked flavor.

I've tried several banana bread recipes, but this one is by far the best. Definitely a new favorite!

This bread is a great way to use up ripe bananas. It's also a delicious and easy snack or breakfast.
