One reader, Michele, says: “Perfectly delish every time! Absolutely foolproof. Nuts, no nuts, smidge more or less of sour cream—no problem… bigger bananas, smaller—no worries, perfect, beyond delicious EVERY time.”

This is my favorite banana bread recipe, one that I’ve cherished for years. It’s one of those classic recipes that you start to know by heart, just like a good pie crust or chocolate chip cookies recipe. This bread comes to mind first when I have leftover spotty bananas on the counter, and it’s the bread that’s on constant rotation in my freezer stash.

Ba's Best Banana Bread Recipe

One reader, Tricia, says: “I have this recipe on speed dial. LOL. It is so tasty and is always a crowd pleaser. My kids and entire family love it!!!”

I’ve tried dozens of banana bread recipes over the years, and when I baked and originally published this recipe back in 2013, I never looked back.

This bread uses more mashed bananas than similar recipes. Add 2 whole cups (460g) of mashed banana, which is about 4 large bananas. More banana = more moisture and flavor in the finished loaf.

The Easiest Banana Bread

Did you know you can use your electric mixer to mash bananas? Break or slice the spotty bananas into large pieces and place in the bowl of your stand mixer—or use a regular mixing bowl and your hand mixer. Begin beating on low, then gradually increase to medium-high speed as the bananas break down into mashed banana. Transfer the bananas to another bowl and use the mixing bowl for the butter and sugar. (No need to clean it—some mashed banana remnants is fine.)

For banana nut bread, add 3/4 cup of chopped nuts to the banana bread batter; I like using either pecans or walnuts. If you’re nuts for nuts (LOL), you’ll enjoy the toasty slight crunch nestled inside the soft crumbs. If you’re not a nut person, feel free to leave them out or replace with chocolate chips. For a whole wheat version, try my whole wheat banana bread.

Yes and I do this often. Thaw the frozen bananas at room temperature. Drain off any excess liquid, mash, then use as instructed in the recipe below. See How to Freeze & Thaw Bananas for Baking. Try not to mash too much or else you’ll be left with 2 cups of banana-y liquid; some chunks are great.

Golden Syrup Spiced Banana Bread

I recommend using my extremely similar, scaled-up recipe for chocolate marble banana Bundt cake instead. You can leave out the chocolate swirl in that recipe.

Overall, this is an easy recipe for classic banana bread. The batter takes about 10 minutes to throw together, the bread stays moist for days, and nothing beats the smell of fresh banana bread in the oven. (Except for, maybe, zucchini bread or pumpkin bread… try those next!)

Sally has been featured onI have never made banana bread before yesterday. Growing up my mom used to make it all the time and it was never something that I loved. As I grow up a bit, my taste buds have changed and I had some bananas on hand I figured I would give it a go. I have to say that it turned out better than I expected. In the mood for banana bread? Try this simple banana bread recipe.

With the bananas and the cup of sugar, this banana bread recipe has a fair bit of sugar. It’s an easy enough fix if you’re watching your sugar intake – you can cut the sugar by using 3/4 cups of sugar, or even by 1/2 cup. It depends on your taste buds. I have always thought of banana bread more as a banana cake, so I kept the sugar to the 1 cup and I’m calling it my treat.

I’m not much of a baker, which is why you don’t see baked goods often on The Bewitchin’ Kitchen but here are some of my favorites.

Super Moist Super Easy Banana Bread

Banana bread is a classic comfort food that can fill your kitchen with delicious aromas and make a great addition to brunch with friends or serve as a post-dinner treat. A

Stand mixer can help you prep and mix ingredients to streamline the baking process. Use your stand mixer to create a basic banana bread recipe, or use the recipe tips below as a foundation for further culinary exploration with mix-ins like dried fruit, chocolate chips, chopped nuts, spices and more.

Use your stand mixer to create soft, moist banana bread that’s loaded with flavor. Before mixing ingredients with your stand mixer, you can use the ® Flat Beater accessory to mash ripe bananas to the desired consistency for your loaf. Then, follow the instructions below to gradually incorporate wet and dry ingredients to finish your batter. 

My Favorite Banana Bread Recipe

Preheat the oven according to your recipe’s instructions and prepare a loaf pan. It’s best to grease a loaf pan by spreading shortening, cooking oil or butter using a paper towel or clean kitchen towel. Be sure the oven is fully preheated before putting bread in, as bread can become dry, crumbly or dense if it starts out in a cold oven.

Fit your stand mixer with the flat beater. Peel ripe bananas, break into 1-2 inch pieces as you add them to the stand mixer bowl. Beat on speed 2-4 until desired consistency is reached. Some lumps may remain at this stage.

Add melted butter and mix on speed 2-4 again until incorporated. Next, add eggs and sugar to the bowl of your stand mixer. Beat on medium speed until ingredients are combined.

Amazing Banana Nut Bread (easy & Moist)

Mix flour, baking soda and salt in a separate bowl, then slowly add to the stand mixer bowl and stir until just combined. If desired, use the ® Sifter + Scale Attachment or other sifter when adding flour to help you break up any lumps and achieve consistent results.

Incorporate mix-ins like chopped nuts, fruit or chocolate by using a spatula to gently fold ingredients using wide, slow strokes from the bottom of the bowl. Overmixed batters can create a rubbery, dense loaf, so be sure to stop folding as soon as mix-ins are evenly incorporated.

Pour batter into your prepared loaf pan, then bake per your recipe’s instructions. Try baking on the center rack so your loaf is equal distance from the top and bottom heating elements. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of the bread loaf and take the bread out once the toothpick comes out clean.

Banana Nut Bread With Sour Cream And Streusel Topping » Not Entirely Average

Stand mixer with a handful of accessories and attachments that add ease to the baking process. Use the Flat Beater accessory to mash ripe bananas and combine ingredients, or use the Flex Edge Beater to reduce mixing time and the need to scrape ingredients down the side of the bowl. Measure with precision when you use the Sifter + Scale Attachment, which accurately measures, thoroughly sifts and automatically adds ingredients directly to your mixer bowl in just one step.

Basic banana bread recipes can be customized with front-and-center mix-ins like chocolate chips, nuts and dried fruit or more nuanced flavor additions like ground cloves or other spices. When using mix-ins like nuts or chocolate chips, incorporate them to the mixture as a final step before transferring to prepared loaf pans. Spices can be added with other dry ingredients, and the bananas themselves can be substituted
