Notes
Here are some tips and tricks for making Super Moist Banana Bread:
🍌 1. Use Overripe Bananas
The darker, the better! Bananas with black spots or fully brown skin are ideal—they’re sweeter and more flavorful, which adds natural moisture and richness.🧈 2. Don’t Overmix the Batter
Once you combine the wet and dry ingredients, stir until just combined. Overmixing develops gluten and can lead to a dense or rubbery texture.🥛 3. Add a Moisture Booster
A dollop of sour cream, Greek yogurt, or even applesauce helps make banana bread extra moist. Try replacing part of the butter or oil with one of these.🍫 4. Fold in Extras Gently
If you’re adding nuts, chocolate chips, or berries, fold them in at the very end to avoid deflating the batter.🌡️ 5. Bake Low and Slow
Bake at 325–350°F (160–175°C) for even cooking. Cover loosely with foil halfway through if the top browns too quickly.🔍 6. Check for Doneness Properly
Insert a toothpick into the center. It should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter). Let it cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.Nutrition

Y’all, just mix everything without thinking! This bread is sooo yum! 10/10 recommend.
I tried this recipe and it turned out kinda dry. Maybe I overcooked it? 🤔
I think it might be the oven temperature. Sometimes those things can be off! Try baking it a little less next time. 😊
Dry? Hmm, maybe you need more butter? But I thought it was super moist! 🤷♂️
Not really a fan of banana bread. This didn’t change my mind. Too sweet for me.
This banana bread is seriously the best! So moist and delicious! Making it again for sure!
