Here’s a super moist banana bread recipe for you!
Ingredients:
- 2-3 ripe bananas (the riper, the better!)
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup sugar (you can use 1/2 cup brown sugar for a richer flavor)
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup buttermilk (or regular milk if you don’t have buttermilk)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional, but adds a nice touch)
- 1/2 cup sour cream (for extra moisture)
Instructions:
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
-
Mash the bananas in a bowl. Make sure they’re ripe and mashed until smooth with a few lumps.
-
In a mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
-
Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon (if using).
-
Add the mashed bananas to the butter mixture, then stir in the sour cream and buttermilk. Slowly mix in the dry ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix.
-
Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.
-
Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the center. If the top is browning too quickly, you can cover it with foil for the last 15 minutes of baking.
-
Let the banana bread cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your super moist banana bread! You can serve it as is, or with a spread of butter, peanut butter, or Nutella for an extra treat.
