Moist Banana Bread recipe. The best loaf I have tried and super easy to make, this is going to be your new favourite snack or breakfast idea.
My sister, being the greatest person you’ll ever meet, made not one, but two loafs of banana bread. I know, great stuff right?
Any kind of banana baked food goes REALLY quickly in my house, so halfway through the day we were down to one loaf.
I don’t know about you, but I love banana bread. I’m not all too crazy about eating bananas by themselves (eating out with friends at a crepe place and they all order crepes with bananas…I don’t know, it just doesn’t do it for me), or in drinks (the reason why I don’t like half of the healthy juices in grocery stores. Why must they all contain bananas?), but when you bake with them! Whoa baby, grab me a plate, I’m eating this whole loaf right now.
The thing about this loaf though.. Our bananas were deceiving. They had been left in the car, so had gone all brown on the outside. But while making this bread, they were firm and banana like, not like the nice, mushy bananas you make banana bread with.
So this pretty much turned out like slightly sweeter than normal bread, but next time I spot some brown mushy bananas…They are in for a treat. Then I will be in for a treat.
If you want another great similar recipe, this Nutella Swirl Banana Bread is also a favourite at my house!

We love banana bread at my place so much so that we actually buy extra bananas and over ripen them so we can use them to make the bread.
Your banana bread just looks awesome! I love it's texture and has a great crumb to it.

I’m a huge fan of banana bread and this one looks like it has a great crumb. What a treat to pull this out of the oven and enjoy warm with a pat of salted butter!
