Moist Banana Bread Recipe
Here’s just one more banana bread recipe to be put out there among the rest, but it’s a very good one!
We all end up with extra ripe bananas at one time or another, right?
I put mine in a zip-top bag in the freezer until I have enough to make banana bread. Don’t you?
Well, if you don’t you can now start saving those overripe bananas. You will be happy you did and so will your neighbors, friends, and co-workers.
This recipe makes 2 loaves. So share one with a neighbor or co-workers.
This is a moist and perfectly dense bread. Some people like to add sour cream to their recipes. We like the addition of buttermilk as it adds the perfect amount of moisture.
This texture makes it really simple to slice a piece and pop it in the toaster to warm slightly. You could also toss in a small handful of nuts if you’re so inclined.
This easy banana bread recipe has all the things you look for in moist banana bread. The texture, the denseness, and the flavor all come together perfectly.

March 9, 2016Oh that does look yummy, if I baked this though I’d end up eating it all myself because no one else in our house likes bananas!

March 9, 2016Yum! LOVE the idea of using buttermilk. Naturally: do I have a single overripe bananas anywhere in my house right now when I normally have about 10? No. But I will soon. Have printed your recipe for when my bananas cooperate!

March 10, 2016Rachel, I freeze them all the time. We usually only have one or two at a time, so I just put them in a ziploc bag in the freezer. Thanks for stopping by!
