Claire is queen obviously. BUT BRO you gotta compare my REG banana bread next time. Those nuts and seeds make the "everything" version a touch drier than the reg. Im not surprised she smoked mine TBH. Cool vid. Cool channel. Subbed.

claire's banana bread is my all time favourite banana bread! i don't really like almonds or almond butter so i actually use peanut butter and it's literally amazing, so easy to make and so delicious!

Claire is my go to for recipes. I've made things from other bakers and had mixed responses but her recipes are always 10/10 and she is so great at explaining why we are doing something, so everything has a purpose. Her pumpkin pie recipe is amazing!! I got praised to the high heavens when I made it for Thanksgiving.

please make more recipe comparison videos! they're so informative and helpful especially when you're trying to narrow down which ones are worth going through all the effort to make.

The best banana bread we've ever had was at a random place on the side of the road in Maui on the road to Hana. There's multiple places making banana bread there. But the bananas are also different than here and so much better. The banana used in the recipe can be such a game changer too.

Hey man. This was super useful. I was trying to figure out which bread to make, and the fact that you said Claire's was what you want to eat when you have BB. I will be making it this week. Great review. I like how you evaluated it and talked about why you enjoyed certain things more or less.

I just made Brian's Banana Bread tonight. 3/29/2024 it was a big hit in my house.

Love your recipe comparisons! I am YT-taught in the kitchen and before I give anything new a try I scour the favorite chef creators here for their variations. You choose many of the same channels I love and to see those recipes made by someone other the their authors gives me the courage to try it for myself. Thanks for sharing, keep it up 😊

If you like these comparison videos, like this comment and leave me a suggestion of what recipes I should test next! Appreciate you all! 😁

great video! as a Claire fan, I was happy to see her wow you. Thanks for the comparison!

[JorVid]

Really good recipe choices and really appreciate time spent for the in-depth reviews

Thank you for the video. I just started Brian 's banana bread recipe, the basic kind. I also didn't have all bananas that were ripened. So, I used his method of baking the banana to soften, which makes the smell so good. Anyway, I will find out how it tastes and report back. The only cheat that I did was putting sea salt flakes on top before baking.😅😊

I’ve made many many loaves
of banana bread over the years but the first time I saw Claire make it, I started using her recipe and never looked back. My family was like, “shut the front door, this is by far the best banana bread you’ve ever made mom! I’ve made many of Brian and Clair’s recipes and both these chefs are top tier. Love them both. Never made a Tasty recipe.

I love the video you should do a recipe comparison for cheese cake

[RhubarbAndCod]

I mean, one really shouldn't be surprised that Claire's turns out so good... she's pretty amazing. Interesting that the lack of molasses flavour helps bring out so much great banana flavour. Thanks for this Ajay! Excellent comparison!

I watched cause I just made a basic banana bread yesterday, it had like sour cream, and yea, was basic but good. I love banana bread lol great vid, thanx for doing that knowledgeable test!

[alexandraortiz]

Awesome video 😊 could you do a tour of your kitchen? It seems very well organized and would love to see your setup!

[anniejonathan]

Very Good... appreciate ur efforts 👌 thanks for sharing all the Best Recipes in 1 video

Ok this has convinced me to try claires banana bread the next i see bananas on sale. I'm always really happy to see those huge bags of way over ripe bananas for 1$ in the clearance section. My favourite banana bread recipe is the one by Abby Mandel, but ive been really loving the one from America's Test Kitchen. I've been itching to try the tahini banana bread by Thalia Ho, too. Great video!

Julia’s banana bread, It's the most perfect banana bread there is. Practical, simple and delicious. I always leave the bananas frozen, to improve the acidity and sweetness. And I use turbinado sugar
