Moist Banana Bread Recipe

Instructions

1. Prep: Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and line a 9×4-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.

2. Mash bananas in a large bowl until smooth.

3. Mix wet ingredients: Stir in melted butter, sugars, eggs, milk, and vanilla until combined.

4. Whisk dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.

5. Combine: Gently fold dry ingredients into wet batter until just mixed (overmixing = tough bread). Fold in add-ins if using.

6. Bake: Pour batter into the pan. Bake 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

7. Cool: Let rest in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
