Best Ever Banana Bread

Banana bread

If you’re looking for a banana bread with lots of banana flavor, you’ve found it. Loaded with four medium bananas, this banana bread is moist and delicious with a soft but firm crumb that makes slices easily toast-able. This easy one-bowl recipe cleans up fast. No electric mixer? No problem. You can also mix this recipe by hand.

The best bananas are over ripe bananas. The recipe calls for four medium bananas. If you have large bananas, use three.

Grease your loaf pan well and the bread will release easily. You can also line the pan with parchment paper. Be sure to wrap tightly after cooled. This bread actually tastes even better after two days, if you can wait that long!

Feel free to make this banana bread your own. Add raisins or other dried fruit, nuts, or chocolate chips. Use 1/2 cup to 1 cup additions.

Loaf is timed to a 9 x 5 loaf pan. If you use a different size pan or muffin cups, your bake time will vary.
