I love a classic banana bread recipe. However, when I’ve made them in the past they seem to be dry and bland. So, when I came across this recipe I was excited to try it with my own twist! Enjoy this simple homemade banana bread recipe. This banana bread with applesauce is moist, delicious, and a cinch to whip up!
As is typically how I create my recipes, this one was born out of lack of ingredients. If you missed it, I’d call my salted pretzel sweet potato pie recipe my greatest baking achievement and it all came out of lack of ingredients.
This time around, I wanted a classic banana bread loaf to make as care packages to gift to family members for Easter alongside my simple free printables.

Chrissy Teigen's Banana Bread Recipe Review
Ok, back to the recipe! I found a simple banana bread recipe to begin and then tweaked from there! Ironically, I prefer my banana bread not to be overly banana-y. So I cut down the number of bananas, replaced them with cinnamon applesauce, and added extra spices for more flavor.
I’m so happy with how it turned out! This banana bread with applesauce is a dense bread but SO moist! It baked evenly and didn’t leave the top or middle soggy like so many other recipes I’ve tried.
If you do not have applesauce on hand, you can also substitute for a total of 2 1/3 c. mashed bananas. However, the applesauce is really the key ingredient to making a dense but MOIST banana bread!
Crackly Banana Bread
Once you’ve mixed all your wet ingredients together, combine them with the dry ingredients. Hand stir gently and only until moistened. Over stirring will result in tough bread!
Once you’ve combined all ingredients, pour your batter into your prepared loaf pan. Bake on center rack at 350 for 60-65 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean or slightly damp.
After 30 minutes, check to ensure your loaf top isn’t over browning. If it is, loosely top with a thin layer of tin foil to prevent burning.
Perfect Banana Bread Recipe
Remove from the oven when fully cooked and let cool for 10 minutes before removing your banana bread from a pan and relocating it to a wire rack.
I’ve made my fair share of banana breads that never seem to cook properly. Either the top is pure dough and the bottom is burnt or it sinks after removing from the oven. This banana bread with applesauce is moist, yet dense, for a perfectly sliceable banana bread!
Or, gift it to someone who would appreciate a simple pick-me-up! Simply wrap it up, tie a simple ribbon and attach one of my free printables! This is such an affordable way to brighten someone’s day for Easter.

If you do not have applesauce, you can use 2 1/3 c. of mashed bananas total instead. Recipe adapted from this original recipe.

Ucla Student Elevates Banana Bread With Small Business Bbl By Zoë
Bananas are one of my favorite fruits; I love to eat them plain or add them into smoothies. Two of my kiddos love bananas and two of them can’t stand them, but we still manage to go through a bunch of them every few days. They are perfect to me when they start to ripen and have just a few brown “freckles” on the peel.
Since we do go through them so quickly, we don’t have too many that turn brown before we get a chance to eat them. That wasn’t the case last week though, and we had five get way too ripe before we were able to eat them. I also happened to have a half gallon of buttermilk in the fridge that needed to be used up too after making these Buttermilk Drop Biscuits.
Buttermilk and banana bread are a match made in Heaven. This Buttermilk Banana Bread was so moist, and the flavor was perfect — not too sweet, not overly strong banana — just right!
One Bowl Banana Bread
This banana bread made with buttermilk turns out perfectly moist and flavorful every time! Here’s what you’ll need to make this banana bread recipe with buttermilk:
Buttermilk is a slightly sour milk with less fat content. Whole milk has 3-5% milk fat and buttermilk has less than 1%. It was traditionally the liquid left behind after churning butter, but today it’s cultured using lactic acid. Even though it’s lower in fat than whole milk, the lactic acid makes it more viscous (thicker).
For each cup of buttermilk, you can use 1 tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice plus enough milk to measure 1 cup. Stir, then let stand for 5 minutes.

You can also use 1 cup of plain yogurt or 1-3/4 teaspoons cream of tartar plus 1 cup milk. I don’t typically keep lemons handy either, unless I’m making these Blueberry Buttermilk Pancakes, so I almost always use vinegar.
You can likely add mix-ins to this super moist banana bread made with buttermilk. Think: chopped nuts, chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, and so forth. Just keep in mind that mix-ins will bulk up the batter even more, so you may wind up needing more than three loaf pans.
If the center of your buttermilk banana bread doesn’t appear to be done near the end of the bake time, try loosely tenting your loaves with foil. This will prevent the tops from browning too much and will give you some extra time to allow the centers to set up.
Banana Bread Recipe
If you want to freeze a loaf or two of buttermilk banana bread, let it cool completely on your countertop before wrapping in plastic wrap and foil (or freeze in a heavy duty freezer bag). To thaw, simply set on your counter overnight.

Had some buttermilk and over ripe bananas and thought I would give it a whirl...I live in Prescott Arizona, so we are 5, 000 feet and as we moved here last year, still trying to figure out baking at this height! Turned out beautiful! Turned convection on to 375 degrees and it took about 45 minutes. SO tasty!!!
Chocolate Chip Banana Bread Recipe
I made this recipe and poured all the batter into a bundt pan. It took only about 10 minutes longer to fully cook. And it tastes wonderful! Awesome recipe, thanks:)
The recipe initially says to prepare one loaf pan. Later on, however, it says to pour batter into three loaf pans. How many loaf pans should I use? I'm thinking of trying this recipe and adding some frozen blueberries that I have on hand. Thanks.
Hi Ellen, I've found this recipe works best when split evenly between three loaf pans. I will update the recipe. Hope this helps!Homemade, moist banana bread, with just the right amount of nuts is just about the best breakfast or afternoon snack that you can possibly imagine. It’s so easy to make too!
Gluten Free Cinnamon Crunch Banana Bread
I have a separate stomach for banana bread consumption. This time of year especially, when it’s chilly outside, I crave it more! If a warm slice of super moist banana bread – loaded with walnuts (and maybe some chocolate chips too) – doesn’t make your stomach happy, I envy you.
Given my obsession with this bread, you can imagine I’ve gotten the recipe down to a science. I have one recommendation for you: make one loaf per person. Wink.
Yes! Freeze loaf for up to 3 months, thawing at room temperature, and then heating in the oven or microwave if desired.

Banana should be at least speckled to be ripe enough for banana bread. They don’t need to be all brown or overripe unless you have them on hand.
