Just finished making banana bread using this recipe I found online. Only differences were that I didn't use any cardamon, no nuts, substituted 1/4 cup yogurt for the sour cream, and I used a light coating of olive oil on the pan instead of butter. I did not preheat the pan, and left it in for 50 minutes til toothpick came out clean. I let it cool in the pan for about 15 minutes, flipped it right out on to a plate, and added a little powdered sugar on top. It came out awesome, I would highly recommend this recipe if you're looking to make banana bread in cast iron. I used my old standby Gatemarked #9.

Very nice. Out of curiosity, did you check for doneness before the 50 minute mark?

I checked it at 47 minutes and probably would have been ok with it coming out then. Just felt a couple of more minutes would be safer, lol.

Thanks. I will definitely try this.

Jody that looks so good I could just about taste it. It was kinda ironic as I was just read a recipe for banana bread that was done in a CI bunt cake pan today. I'm going to save your recipe for when I do one in a skillet.

Steve,

I'm not a very experienced cook, but this did turn out very well. The wife and I will definitely add this one to our recipe files.
