This is the superior banana bread recipe that delivers an exceptionally moist crumb and rich banana flavor. We fixed the common flaws to create a version you will want to make again and again.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 very ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas thoroughly.
  3. Stir in the melted butter and sugar into the mashed bananas. Mix until just combined.
  4. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract.
  5. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the baking soda and salt.
  6. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix the batter.
  7. Fold in the chopped nuts, if using.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  9. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use bananas that are heavily spotted or almost black for the best sweetness and moisture.
  • For an extra moist loaf, you can substitute 1/4 cup of the sugar with brown sugar.
  • Do not overmix the flour; mixing too much develops gluten and results in a tough bread.
