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!

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!
OK. I need some help here. I have made several receipes from this site and they are really good. But this one just wouldn't come out right. I followed the directions to a t. My bread came out ucky towards the bottom like it wasn't done. I even cooked it a little longer, then I turned it up 5 degrees. I don't know what happened. HELP.
ok i can't stop making this bread.. along with the other three tiems, now I've made it in cranberry, blueberry, and apple.. this bread is the best. I made them all in muffins adn jsut freeze them for my daughter.
Thanks ladies!!
Ms. the bread should be fine sitting for an hour while the other bake. I've just left it sitting on the counter once when I couldn't fine my other loaf pan and it still tasted great. I've also used muffin pans and a bundt pan with this recipe.
hi Monique, I just made your Frappachino recipe and it was great. one question, what if I only i have 1 baking pan, can o sit the mixture aside and then once the first batch is made, just make the second one? will leaving the mixture in the fridge change the taste?
I cant tell you how many banana bread recipes I've tried, all absolutely failing, tooo moist, too dry, not enough flavor, but this makes up for it all..I've made this three tiems since you posted it. Since I have picky eaters in my house I used different things each time, one banana, peach, and then my last batch I made with sweet potatoes.. my daughter loves it.
This is THE BEST BANANA BREAD ever!!! Is is so moist and flavorful. I can't tell you how many times I returned to the kitchen to pick off a little piece here and there and now the whole loaf is gone.I added nuts to mine. I wrapped the other loaf in 10 layers of seran wrap in hopes of keeping my kids (and myself out of it) When I woke up my teenager and her friends had devour the other loaf. I can't believe I actually made such a delicious bread! It really is bakery quality. I'll be making this when my mother in law comes up for Thanksgiving since she thinks I can't cook or bake. Thanks so much Monique! I LOVE your recipes. I have yet to make anything from your site that didn't turn out delicious!!!
