Perfect Banana Bread: Moist, Just Sweet Enough, & So Easy! Baking A Moment

This is an incredibly soft, moist banana bread recipe. Amazing flavor. A great way to use up those brown bananas. Our #1 most popular recipe. And simply delicious.
Sour cream – light or full fat is fine. Or use plain or vanilla yogurt instead. This adds moisture to the banana bread.

My sister loves it toasted with butter. I have to admit it’s pretty good. Plain – with or without butter – is great too. And a bit of peach marmalade!
For baking, the best way to measure flour is to weigh it on a kitchen scale. If you don’t have a scale, use the scoop and swipe method with measuring cups. Scoop the flour with a spoon into a measuring cup, then level it off with a knife. The right amount of flour is important for the texture of the banana bread.
Sometimes the batter will curdle when you add a cold egg. If you forget to take the egg out of the fridge ahead of time, run it under warm water for a minute. (Even if the batter curdles a bit, it still should be fine).
Easy Moist Banana Bread Recipe
Yes, you can make muffins instead of a loaf. Increase the oven temperature to 375F/191C and bake muffins for 20-25 minutes or until the tester comes out clean.
Don’t throw out your browning overripe bananas. Throw them into a ziploc bag (remove as much air as possible), then into the freezer for up to 3 months. Defrost them in the fridge or microwave them for 1 minute or so when you’re ready to bake a super moist banana bread.
Yes, bananas can turn dark brown or even black in the freezer – and even mushy or liquidy – but they are safe and perfect for making banana bread. To prevent the skin from turning black, you can flash-freeze the bananas first before putting them in a ziploc bag in the freezer.
Moist And Delicious Banana Bread Recipe
Experts at Cooks Illustrated found that oven temperature can vary by as much as 90 degrees F (32 degrees C), especially over time. This will impact baking results. CNET explains the best way to test your oven temperature for accuracy so you can adjust accordingly.

Oat Flour Banana Bread
Banana bread is a simple, comforting treat, that’s perfect for breakfast or as a snack. I love to enjoy a slice with a little soft butter and a cup of coffee or tea!
It’s a quick bread, which means it has more of a moist, cake-y texture, is a little sweet, and rises with the help of baking soda.
If you don’t have (or don’t want to use) Greek yogurt, you can substitute with sour cream or buttermilk. For a dairy-free/vegan option, see below, under the heading “Variations on this Banana Bread Recipe”. (Gluten-free suggestions can also be found here.)
Vegan Not Too Sweet Banana Bread
Baking from scratch might sound scary or intimidating, but I promise you, this is SO EASY. If you’ve never baked from scratch before, banana bread is a great place to start. It’s very forgiving, and bakes up moist and soft every time. You can’t go wrong with this recipe! It’s the best.
Start by placing your dry ingredients in a large bowl. Flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt can all go in together. Just give them a quick stir with a whisk to combine them.
In a separate, smaller bowl, mash the bananas. You can do this with a fork, or you can puree them in a food processor, or just use a hand mixer. It’s easiest if your bananas are very soft and ripe.
Coconut Macadamia Nut Banana Bread
To the same bowl, add the Greek yogurt (or sour cream, buttermilk, or other dairy-free option), the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk everything together until it’s well-blended.
Now just pour the liquid mixture into the dry, and fold gently together. You can see what “folding” looks like in the video below.
Be careful not to overmix the batter, so your banana bread comes out soft and tender. Overmixing could develop the glutens in the flour and make your banana bread dense and tough.
