The softest BANANA BREAD recipe I've ever had. Moist banana loaf

If you’re looking for a banana bread recipe that is super moist and bursting with banana flavour, then this recipe is it! It comes together so easily, and is finished off with an optional topping of walnuts that add great crunch and texture to the banana loaf – so so good!

INGREDIENTS:

For accuracy, I would recommend using the gram measurements provided as those are the exact quantities I use. Cup measurements are given as estimates (based on US cup measurements) to make it easier for those who do not have a scale.

▢1½ cups (339 g) mashed bananas - about 3 large bananas, must be ripe bananas (the riper the better!)
▢1⅔ cups (200 g) all purpose flour
▢2 tbsp (16 g) cornstarch - also known as cornflour in some countries
▢1 tsp baking powder
▢¾ tsp baking soda
▢½ tsp salt - omit if using salted butter
▢¾ tsp ground cinnamon
▢¾ cup (150 g) soft brown sugar
▢¼ cup (56 g) unsalted butter - room temperature
▢¼ cup (52 g) unflavoured vegetable oil - I use canola oil
▢1½ tsp vanilla essence/extract
▢1 large egg - room temperature, size 7 egg
▢¼ cup walnuts - you can add more or less

Bake at 160 °C (320°F) with the fan on (convection mode) for 1 hour, or until a skewer or knife comes out clean. If you don't have a fan function, increase the temp to 175°C (347°F).

Made this cake for Iftar a few days back and my husband and in laws absolutely went bonkers for it. I added more bananas because I just had loads at home but still came out so good. Allah’hummah Baarik everything that I have tried of yours so far has come out so good Alhumdulillah ❤️

Tried this recipe today and I just want to say thank you. Didn’t know I could make banana bread without milk or yoghurt. It came out really nice.

I made this banana bread and it was by FAR the best I've ever made.
I had to make a couple of slight alterations, as follows due to my cupboard being depleted of a few things:
I had no baking soda to hand so added more baking powder.
I had no walnuts, so used chopped hazelnuts.
I had no cinnamon so used 1/2 tsp each of nutmeg and ginger.
It came out amazing. I had to give half away to friends as they all loved it.
Thanks, MK 💖

Wow was it so soft and yummy!!!! This is replacing my old recipe!

I baked it, it's the best I had made till date. Moist on the inside and crunchy on the outside. Used almonds instead of walnuts. It's so good and my family, especially my 2 year old loved it. Thank you for the recipe. You've got a sub

Beautiful banana bread I make it as well seem like cornstarch is the secret. Ingredients. It’s amazing you’re the only second person I know that add walnuts on top I do too, but I put my in the food processor to get a little smaller the walnuts and sprinkle on top for baking. Only reason I do that because I sell them it looks more like it came from a coffee shop. Love your videos you are such a fabulous baker!

[iSumaiya]

I made the banana bread using this recipe. Turned out pretty well 😍
