Here’s a tried-and-true Moist Banana Bread Recipe—soft, tender, and packed with banana flavor.

🍌 Moist Banana Bread

Ingredients (1 loaf)

• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• ½ tsp salt
• ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
• ¾ cup brown sugar (light or dark)
• 2 large eggs
• 3 ripe bananas, mashed
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• ¼ cup buttermilk or plain yogurt (for extra moisture)
• Optional: ½ cup chopped walnuts or chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Preheat and prepare pan

• Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
• Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line with parchment paper.

2. Mix dry ingredients

• In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.

3. Cream butter and sugar

• In a large bowl, beat butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
• Add eggs one at a time, mixing well.
• Stir in mashed bananas and vanilla.

4. Combine wet and dry

• Gradually fold in the flour mixture.
• Add buttermilk or yogurt and stir until just combined.
• Fold in walnuts or chocolate chips if using.

5. Bake

• Pour batter into prepared loaf pan.
• Bake 55–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
• Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

6. Serve

• Slice and enjoy warm or at room temperature.
• Optional: spread with butter, cream cheese, or a drizzle of honey.

Tips for Extra Moist Banana Bread

• Use very ripe bananas with brown spots—they’re sweeter and more flavorful.
• Do not overmix the batter; fold gently to keep it tender.
• For a richer flavor, you can substitute ¼ cup butter with coconut oil or add a tablespoon of sour cream.

I can also give you a super-moist “ultra-banana” version that stays soft for days and has a tender, almost cake-like texture. Do you want me to provide that?
