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,
Â
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.
Â
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!
Â
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!

The BEST Moist Banana Bread Recipe (Melt in Your Mouth Bakery Style Banana Bread!)
Recipe Type: bread
Author:
Serves: 2 loaves
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups very ripe bananas, mashed
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 3 cups flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) butter, softened
- 2 1/8 cups sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
Instructions
- Preheat Oven to 275 F (yes that’s correct : )
- Mash up bananas really good with a fork and mix in lemon juice. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, sift together flour, baking soda & salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream butter & sugar until fluffy.
- Add in eggs, one at a time & then add in vanilla.
- Beat in the flour mixture alternating it with the buttermilk.
- Fold in bananas.
- Pour batter into two greased & flour loaf pans & bake in the oven for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
- Remove from oven and place directly into the freezer to cool for about 20-30 minutes. This will make the bread incredibly moist.
- Store in an airtight container. (I keep it in the refrigerator)
- Enjoy with a dollop of cool whip!! Yummy!
Looks sooo ummy!! All I have is margarine on hand…. will his work in place of the butter?
oh my!! Anonymous yes you WILL bake again!!! If I have to call you up and we go step by step you gonna bake again honey!! Send me an email!!
I'm a guy and I stumbled onto one of your vids on youtube. I normally never cook, but I decided to make something sweet for the wife since she always does all the cooking. I don't know what the hell I did wrong, but it was a disaster. The batter looked good when I put it in the pan, but after 45 minutes at 275 the batter was still as wet as when I put it in the oven. Most of the batter boiled over to the bottom of the oven. I WILL NEVER BAKE AGAIN!!!
I've been reading your blog for a while now but this is my first time making one of your recipes. I just made this banana bread and after trying many recipes that were either too dense, not sweet enough, no flavor, etc, this bread is absolutely PERFECT! I didn't think it would have much banana flavor since most other recipes I've used call for twice as much but baaaaby, it was very, very good, and the banana flavor shined through. While I'm tempted to add a hint of cinnamon and nutmeg and/or a streusel topping, I don't want to tamper with this perfection. I did have to bake the bread a little longer than what you suggested but it produced a delicious bread – everyone's oven is different. Thanks for sharing this awesome recipe! My quest for "my" banana bread is over. Looking forward to trying more of your recipes!
About the salted vs. unsalted butter, I always use salted butter unless the recipe calls specifically for unsalted butter. I haven't had any problems (including with this recipe).
This bread was amazing. Even my sister and her children, who are super picky, loved it. She ended up hiding it from them so she would have some for lunch the next day. I'll be using this recipe from now on!
