The BEST Moist Banana Bread Recipe (Melt in Your Mouth Bakery Style Banana Bread!)
Bakery Style Banana Bread
Ok…now I posted one of my favorite recipes for banana bread a few weeks ago called Moist Old Fashioned Banana Bread
Well, one of my readers sent me this email and banana bread recipe that has completely converted me over to this recipe! Now don’t get me wrong, I still love me some old school banana bread but this moist banana bread recipe taste just like the kind you get from a bakery; super soft, moist, light & dense all at the same time! The banana flavor is incredible and the freezer tip really does make this banana bread out of this world moist!
Hello Monique,
I made your old fashioned banana bread & it is truly is old fashioned! I mean that in a good way. It tastes exactly the way I remember my mother making it. I will for sure be adding this recipe to my family cookbook for when I am craving some good old fashion banana bread.
However, I do believe I hold the recipe to the best banana bread of all time (smile) It comes from my neighbor who made me a batch of this bread when I was under the weather. I’ve tasted and made plenty of banana bread in my day, and this recipe is by far the BEST banana bread ever. I promise! Everyone who I have made this bread for says it’s the best, even a local bakery with a trained baker begged me for this recipe!
I would love for you to give it a try when you have time and if you like it, feel free to share it with your readers. I am 61 and love your blog and have been reading since I found it on google! I guess I still have some diva in me. Thanks so much for sharing your recipes. They are so delicious and I love seeing more young women getting into scratch-made cooking!

Hello,
Love your recipes. I just took the banana bread out the freezer. I only had 1 loaf pan so I baked it a 9×13 pan. OMG it is super moist. I made honey butter to smear on it. I’m in heaven. Thank you. Looking forward to Thanksgiving recipes.
Made it twice so far. Going for a third today. The BEST!
This was delicious and extremely moist! I was concerned because some people said it was too sweet but it was perfect for my taste. I mixed in walnuts and sprinkled some on top before baking. I had to half the recipe because I didn’t have enough bananas, but it came out beautiful and delicious. It took longer than an hour to cook. I set the timer for 45 minutes and reset it at 5 minute intervals. I lost track of how many additional 5 minute intervals it took, but it was about 4 or 5 which would mean it took at least 1 hour to 1 hour and 5 minutes for the one loaf. Thanks for sharing. This is a keeper.
It was 1:50m. Give or take a minute or two. Perfect every single time.
This is absolutely delicious banana cake. It cannot be classified as a bread in my opinion, since there’s almost as much sugar as there is flour! It took a lot longer to bake, even with my convection oven but I only own one loaf pan and then used the rest of the batter for muffins, so I might have poured more than half in the loaf pan. Very very very sweet and cakey, but it was delicious.
This is the best banana bread I have ever made. The only thing I do& different was the milk. I used almond milk instead of butter milk.
Wow!! This was so yummy! Everyone in my family loved it! Also took some to work and I got one of the best compliments ever from a coworker! Will definitely make this again…good thing not everyone likes plain bananas in my house…more super ripe bananas for me to make this banana bread!
