Loving your side kick, and I agree with him for the chocolate waffles

Lachlan’s commentary is gold!😂 This looks yummy!

I used half banana and half avocado for this and decreased the sugar amount a little bit. The result was the best banana bread I've ever had! Thanks for all of your great recipes.

I loved your assistant and how he enjoyed teasing you, reminding you about his favorite eats .

"May I, please?" was too sweet!!

[dianadambrosio]

Just made it. I have been making your recipes for years. This is absolutely gorgeous, Perfect ingredients perfect everything
Used avocado oil
The only thing I changed is because I had no brown sugar left, I used coconut sugar in equal parts of the brown sugar needed. I did everything that you said to do, including the last of the mixing with a spatula to not make anything tough, and this is so so tender. It is exquisite !!
thank you again John. ❤

I absolutely love this video! As a mom of two boys, this one just made me smile so big. They would always cook/bake with me! 😊 They are now 24 and 21. ❤

Love your son, what a character, he reminds me of my son, oh wait my son, is sti like this at 20 year's old ❤😂😊

Lachlan reminds me of my son. Henry, my son, loves cooking an making up his own recipes

[Debba]

That adorable kid! And he's a real kid, "that's disgusting", "that looks like barf" and the faces! But he really was into the program, always asking, "the whole thing?", and pretty careful on the whisking too. I see him with his own cooking show someday. What a riot! 😊

[raniashah]

I was not a fan of banana bread but I tried it today and OMG you can't believe how good it was! Thank you so much John for this amazing recipe!😊

[cristinweekley]

I absolutely love seeing little ones learning to bake! Learning to be in the kitchen I think it’s so important and educational for children. Your video will inspire other children to want to be in the kitchen.👍🙏🏼😊

[annarussell]

Sweet! You have very enthusiastic helpers, which is wonderful!

[paulamcauliffe]

Just baked these according to instructions as muffins. Incredibly delicious. Yum. 😋

[Shea-nk]

Lachlan is adorable! I agree with your son chocolate waffles sounds amazing!

I made this recipe with 1 to 1 gluten free flour. Every one raved about it. Even my biggest critic of GF backing loved it! It took longer to bake and I waited until the internal temp was 190. Thx for this recipe!!!! ❤

Made this last weekend and it came out perfectly! Everyone I've shared it with has loved it, friends, family, co-workers. I think I've got something homemade to bring to get-togethers now.
