This is a great recipe for a basic classic banana bread. I have only two criteria for what I would consider the best banana bread recipe: super moist and big banana flavor.
I’ve made this recipe a LOT. Just pay attention to a few tips that I promise will get you to a REALLY great banana bread.
I’ve done a ton of research and testing for you so you don’t have to. You’ll find tips, substitutions, variations, freezing instructions, and more.
Moist Banana Bread With Sour Cream
There’s no need for a stand mixer. I have tried it with and without and didn’t find a difference. You can mix the batter with a spoon or fork. The instructions are simple. Just be sure to pay attention to the tips which are all included in the recipe.
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.
Perfect Vegan Banana Bread (super Moist)
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).
Chocolate Chip 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.
Healthy 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.

It’s moist, dense, and just lovely. Then a viewer sent me a recipe for bakery-style banana bread that knocked my socks off. It was so fluffy, sweet, moist, and full of banana flavor. So my search for the perfect banana bread should be over right? Never!!
Today I was craving banana bread but I wanted it to be EVERYTHING that these two recipes had. I wanted that old-fashioned cinnamon-brown sugar-banana flavor, I wanted it to have that slight crunch on the outside yet crazy moist, fluffy, & dense on the inside. That’s not asking for too much right? With a little tweaking, I combined the two banana bread recipes on my site, and out came this beauty.
It’s everything that I’ve ever wanted in banana bread and I couldn’t wait to share it with you all. I hope that you enjoy it as much as we have because I made it at 12 pm. and there is one more slice left at 7:41 pm and it’s that end slice. The one that’s not nearly as much fun as the inside slices. I still plan on hiding it and eating it with a hot cup of coffee though.
Moist & Fluffy Banana Poppyseed Bread
I just love that this bread has buttermilk in it. Something about buttermilk in quick bread just makes it so moist and adds great flavor. If I had some black walnuts I’d throw them in there as well. So yum!!
If you’re the type that likes to bake up quick loaves of bread and take them to work or give them away as gifts this is the recipe you want to use. It has a crowd-pleaser written all over it and tastes even better the next day and is much sweeter the next day as well!
*It is super important that you do not over stir the batter or it will turn out dry and tough. Stir just very gently and just until the flour is incorporated.This is hands down the most AMAZING Banana Bread I've ever tasted! It's moist, fluffy and the addition of chopped walnuts give a nice crunch in each bite!
Moist & Fluffy Oat Flour Banana Bread
I had some overripe bananas leftover from my Banana Caramel Layer Cake recipe, and I just couldn't bare letting them go to waste. So what's the best thing to do when you have overripe bananas? Make banana bread, of course!
Before we begin, I'm not saying this is the most amazing banana bread recipe of all time. You can't really say that without tasting every single one. However, out of all the banana bread I've tasted in my days, this one is my absolute FAVOURITE!
What makes this banana bread so amazing? To begin, instead of using melted butter, I creamed the butter and sugar together to give the bread its light and fluffy texture.
Light Fluffy Banana Cake
The butter needs to be at room temperature, not too soft and not too hard. It should be firm enough for your finger to leave an imprint when you press down on it. I recommend taking your butter out of the fridge at least 30 minutes before you begin to let it come to room temperature.
For the sugar, I used regular white sugar instead of brown sugar, but you can go ahead and use brown sugar if you prefer. I heard it does amazing things for quick breads, so the next time I make this, I'll try to use brown sugar instead. Either way, it will still taste absolutely delicious!
I remade this recipe using brown sugar and I can definitely say this banana bread is still incredible no matter what type of sugar you use!
Sour Cream Banana Bread Recipe
This recipe also uses 3 large overripe bananas (duh). To ripen them, I put the bunched bananas into a paper bag and placed them on top of the fridge so the heat could speed up the ripening. Doing this caused them to get overripe in about a week, but it may take longer for you, so check the bananas occasionally to see if they're ready.
Now if you don't have the time or patience for all of that, you can quickly ripen the bananas in the oven on a baking sheet at 300℉ for about 20 minutes, until the peels are blackened.
I added buttermilk to give this bread its moist and soft texture. Then I added cinnamon because it really boosts the flavour of the bread, and it goes perfectly with banana desserts!
Soft And Moist Banana Cake
I then tossed in some chopped walnuts because they add even more flavour, and I just LOVE the crunchy texture of the nuts blended with the softness of the bread. You can substitute the walnuts for any other type of nuts, chocolate chips or chunks, raisins, raspberries, blueberries or whatever your heart desires.
You can also omit the add-ins all together if you prefer to be one with the banana bread without anything getting in your way. Don't worry, I completely understand.
I don't think there's anything better than the smell of banana bread baking in the oven. I spent the entire time in the kitchen inhaling the banana fumes coming from the oven, then spent even more time in a banana daze while the bread was cooling. I really hope someone haas created a banana bread candle so I can order a lifetime supply.
