Is there anything better than warm banana nut bread fresh right out of the oven? I probably say that a lot, but seriously, good moist banana bread truly is one of my favorite things in the whole wide world, especially with a good cup of coffee.
I love to make banana bread, although I hardly ever have ripe bananas on hand. Sometimes I buy bananas and won’t let anyone eat them just so they could ripen and I can use them for banana bread!

I love the banana bread from Costco, but I always find it quite sweet for my taste, however, I love how moist it is. I made it my mission over the years to make my own version but slightly sweetened, or perfectly sweetened to my taste. It’s safe to say I’ve been making this banana nut bread for decades and I’ve had plenty of time to perfect it.
Be sure to check out the tips below for the best banana bread ever, and if you follow all my tips and instructions, it will be impossible for you to fail with this recipe.
Every oven is different, so don’t worry if your bread isn’t ready after 45 minutes. Have a couple clean toothpicks ready to go, and test your bread by inserting a toothpick in the middle of the loaf. If it comes out with some batter, add an extra 5-10 minutes at a time until the toothpick comes out clean.

If you wanted a dairy free version skip the yogurt and add applesauce instead. This is something I have always made often because hubs goes through phases and the last phase he went through he thought he was lactose intolerant, so I had to make all sorts of recipes dairy free.
1. Place the bananas on a baking sheet and bake them at 250°F for 10-20 minutes. This will depend on how ripe your bananas are to start out with. Keep an eye on them and add time as you see fit.
an extra day, place your bananas in a paper bag and fold the top to seal off the outside air. This leaves them in a bag full of their own ethylene, which is what causes them to ripen. Adding an apple, fig, or pear to the bag will help them ripen up a bit more.

Now it’s your opportunity to customize this heavenly bread! I love to mix some chocolate chips in my banana nut bread. Switch up the type of nuts you use, or dried fruits like raisins or cranberries are also fantastic additions!
Wrap the banana nut breadtightlywith plastic wrap or you can store it in an airtight container. It will last on your counter for3 days, or in the fridge for about one week. I love to microwave my slices of banana bread for20-30 secondsto let it soften up, especially if it’s been in the fridge.
Wrap the loaf or the individual slicesextremelywell with plastic wrap, even if they’re being stored in an airtight container. The bread will give off some moisture which can cause freezer-burn without the plastic wrap.Let it thaw completely at room temperature.

The Best Healthy Banana Bread Recipe
I just absolutely love this easy recipe for from scratch banana nut bread. It has a perfect combination of flavors. There’s a lovely hint of cinnamon and vanilla that complements the banana flavor so well. Oh and speaking of that banana flavor – the super ripe bananas add such a delicious flavor to this homemade loaf that you can’t resist!
I love that this simple one bowl banana bread isn’t overly sweet. The combination of sweetness from the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and ripe bananas is just right. It definitely feels and tastes like quick bread, not like a cake, which means it’s perfect to have for breakfast with a Starbucks latte.
Even though it’s a quick bread, it holds its shape wonderfully. You can spread butter and jam on it without it breaking apart or crumbling. Even though this bread holds up well to toppings, the buttermilk makes it very moist so that you can eat it alone without butter. This buttermilk banana bread is just perfectly balanced and moist.
Super Moist Banana Bread Recipe (no Mixer Needed)
I love adding walnuts because they have a perfect tender crunch. I really think they’re the best nuts for banana bread. They’re totally optional though, so feel free to leave them out (or add more) depending on your preference. You could even make banana bread with chocolate chips instead if that’s what you’d prefer!
This banana walnut quick bread won’t disappoint. My sweet neighbor even said that she’s going to start using this recipe instead of her mom’s, which has to be one of the best compliments I’ve gotten. I know I’m biased, but I really do think this is the best banana bread recipe in the world!

Easy Banana Bread Recipe
Bananas: The bananas you want to use are brown and spotty. The loaf will taste better if the bananas don’t have any green on them. With banana bread, the rule of thumb is the riper the better. I normally set bananas aside for banana bread once they’re ripe enough that I wouldn’t want to eat them plain.
Flour: All purpose flour is the best flour to use here because it has the right amount of protein in it. There’s enough that it will hold its shape, but not so much that the loaf will be tough. You’ll end up with a delicious loaf that holds together and has a tender crumb. Just be sure not to overmix the batter so that you don’t activate the gluten.
Granulated Sugar and Brown Sugar: Using a combination of granulated sugar and brown sugar gives you the best balance of flavor and texture. White sugar is sweeter, so you’ll get sweetness from that. On the other hand, brown sugar has molasses in it which contributes a caramel flavor and makes the loaf more moist.
My Favorite Banana Bread Recipe
Butter: Because butter is solid at room temperature, it contributes to the structure of the loaf. That helps add some leavening power. You could use a neutral flavored oil instead, but the loaf will be noticeably more moist and more dense (it won’t rise as much).
Buttermilk: The acid in buttermilk reacts with the baking soda to create the leavening power in this bread. When those two combine, they create a reaction that yields a light and fluffy loaf. Since buttermilk also slows down gluten formation, it helps make sure that you have a tender loaf.
Baking Soda: Baking soda reacts with the buttermilk to create the leavening power. If you don’t have buttermilk and are substituting it with something else, the baking soda won’t have an acid to react with, which would mean the loaf wouldn’t rise and would have a metallic taste. In that scenario you’d need to substitute the baking soda with baking powder. You’d need to use about 3 times as much baking powder though.
Walnut Crumb Topped Banana Nut Bread
Walnuts: I love making banana bread with walnuts because they add a delicious flavor and a tender crunch. You can also substitute the walnuts with pecans (or even chocolate chips) if you like.
Flavor: A combination of ground cinnamon, salt, and vanilla extract flavors this bread perfectly. Cinnamon is a warming spice. Salt enhances the flavors and balances the sweetness. Pure vanilla extract adds the best vanilla flavor (since this is a baked dessert, you could use artificial vanilla extract with good enough results).
Start by preheating the oven and preparing the loaf pan. Add the sugars and butter to a large mixing bowl, and use a handheld electric mixer to beat them until the butter is pale and fluffy. (See the recipe card below for the full printable instructions.)

Bake uncovered in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the bread cool for a bit before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. See the recipe card
