Delicious Moist and Chewy Banana Bread Recipe

There's banana and then there's THE banana bread. This recipe makes the most chewy and moist bread that it's almost like cake. The addition of turbinado sugar to the pan creates a crunchy caramel like crust that is irresistible. Turn this bread into a dessert by simply adding toppings such as vanilla ice cream, caramel sauce, candied walnuts and a pinch of sea salt!

Dry Ingredients:
1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2/3 cup white sugar
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup turbinado sugar

Wet Ingredients
3 ripe bananas
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
2 eggs, room temperature

1. Preheat oven to 350 F
2. To a large mixing bowl add, 1 1/3 cups all purpose flour, 1/4 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp baking soda, 2/3 cups white sugar, 3/4 tsp kosher salt, 1 tsp cinnamon
3. Combine and set aside
4. To another mixing bowl, add 3 very ripe bananas and mash well with a fork (consistency almost like a paste with small lumps)
5. Add 5 tablespoons softened and unsalted butter and 2 room temperature eggs
6. Combine with a fork, mashing up the butter as you go
7. Combine wet and dry ingredients together and mix well with a spatula
8. To a greased loaf pan, pat turbinado sugar on all sides liberally
9. Pour batter into pan
10. Shake to distribute evenly and pat on counter to remove any air bubbles
11. Bake for 40-50 min (test with a toothpick around 40 min and if comes out cleanly, remove)
12. Let cool on a wire rack

Every time my bananas over-ripen I feel forced to make banana bread. It's a curse.

Every time I make Banana bread I come to this video I hope u never take it down

[sammiconley]

Made this and it was delicious! Just a tip; it would make it much easier if you could add the measurements and directions in the description box. I had to keep rewatching and pausing the video to get the measurements

I just made this. I used brown sugar instead of white. I also added 1/2 cup of chocolate chips. Delicious.

Hello. I just wanted to say that it’s currently 3am where I am right now and I am making banana bread but I forget to turn on the timer so I ended up panicking and running to the oven like an hour later and the bread was burnt and a piece of the foil was on fire. I reached into the oven (forgetting to put on over mits) and just burned my hand and I screamed so loud and now my entire house is awake and they don’t understand what compelled me to make banana bread at 3am and honestly I don’t either.

So how’s your day been so far?

My favourite foolproof no-frills banana bread recipe! Even when I feel I've messed up cos I'm rushing or accidentally used too much flour, it always turns out beautifully. Plus I love how it always has a beautiful crust (i don't like flat top banana bread) with its crunchy peaks ☺ love you forever for sharing this recipe!

ive made this recipe 5 times now within a month, and my family eats it within 30 minutes. Its soooo good and not overly sweet, unlike the other recipes that pour like 2 cups of sugar. I recommend substituting white sugar with brown for a richer flavour, and i usually sub a bit of the flour with oats instead, and i put in like a cup of walnuts. honestly so damn good

[lastochka]

The title says it all. It really is the best moist and chewy banana bread. I refer to it every time I bake my banana bread and every time it turns out perfect. A big big thank you for a foolproof recipe!!! 👏

My first banana bread was in 2018 using this recipe. It's 2022 and ive made a total of 3 banana breads (I don't eat pastries or sweets often)...and all of them have been using this recipe. No appliances, no weird ingredients, no a twist of this and a twat of that. Just simple, moist, and delicious banana bread.
