How to Make Easy Moist Banana Bread (Foolproof banana bread Recipe) - Tasty

A simple, foolproof recipe for moist banana bread.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups (180g) all-purpose flour

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the mashed bananas, melted butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until combined.
  3. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the baking soda and salt. Add this mixture to the wet ingredients and stir briefly.
  4. Add the flour to the wet ingredients. Mix only until just combined; do not overmix.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  6. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use very ripe, spotty bananas for the best flavor and moisture.
  • For a richer flavor, substitute 1/4 cup of the sugar with brown sugar.
  • You can add 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or chocolate chips if desired.
