Plus, ripe mashed bananas have plenty of moisture on their own. Bake the bread until just done to prevent it drying out, and wrap the cooled loaf tightly in plastic wrap or foil to lock in moisture.\nAllrecipes \/ Grace Elkus\nTest Kitchen Tips\n“This is a no-fuss recipe,” according to culinary producer Nicole McLaughlin (a.k.a.\nNicoleMcMom\n). “I love a plain, simple banana bread.” Here are a few banana bread tips and tricks from the expert: \nAvoid choosing green bananas. Instead opt for ripe bananas that are yellow with a few brown spots. \nThe best and easiest way to mash bananas? With a fork! \nStir just until the dry ingredients are incorporated. Overmixing can result in dense, tough bread.\nStart checking a few minutes early; the bread is done when a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs, not wet batter.\nThe recipe calls for a 9x5 loaf pan, but it’s fine if you have something smaller – just increase the cook time by a few minutes. \nHow to Store Banana Bread\nBanana bread will stay fresh for about 4 days at room temperature when stored properly. To keep it moist, place a paper towel in the bottom of an airtight container or zip-top bag. Set the cooled loaf on top, then cover it with another paper towel before sealing tightly. The paper towels absorb excess moisture, preventing sogginess while keeping the banana bread soft. Store in a cool, dry place at room temperature.\nAvoid refrigerating banana bread, as it can dry out more quickly in the fridge.\nCan You Freeze Banana Bread?\nYes, banana bread freezes very well! It will keep for 2 to 4 months while maintaining good quality. Wrap the cooled loaf tightly in plastic wrap, then add a layer of aluminum foil. You can also freeze individual slices if you don’t plan to thaw the whole loaf at once. To thaw, let the bread sit at room temperature while still wrapped to retain moisture. Individual slices can be warmed briefly in the microwave or toaster oven.\nAllrecipes Community Tips and Praise\n\"I've made several banana bread recipes here and I always come back to this one,\" says SOULWOLF. \" It is a wonderful standard recipe that you can build upon and customize to your liking.  I generally use about 5 medium size bananas but have used a little as three and it still came out good.\"\n\"Simple recipe that never fails,\" according to Jheley. \"We Love it! It's now my go-to! I've added nuts, vanilla, cinnamon and chocolate chips (not all at once, but as variations just to experiment a bit and they've all been great) I've also made them as muffins and it literally never fails!\"\n\"This turned out so yummy,\" raves Britt Pfaff. \"I'm pretty sure this is the recipe I use every year but always forget! The only change I made was adding vanilla extract and walnuts. I doubled the recipe to make two loaves and my 6-year-old daughter loved making it with me!\"\nEditorial contributions by\nCorey Williams","attrs_markdown":"\n\n[Skip to content](https:\/\/www.allrecipes.com\/recipe\/20144\/banana-banana-bread\/#main)\n\n[Allrecipes](https:\/\/www.allrecipes.com\/)\n\nSave\n\nRate\n\n- Please fill out this field.\n  Please fill out this field.\n- [Newsletters](https:\/\/www.allrecipes.com\/recipe\/20144\/banana-banana-bread\/)\n- [Sweepstakes](https:\/\/www.allrecipes.com\/sweepstakes)\n- [My Saves](https:\/\/www.myrecipes.com\/)\n\n[Allrecipes](https:\/\/www.allrecipes.com\/)\n\nPlease fill out this field.\n\n- [Dinners](https:\/\/www.allrecipes.com\/recipes\/17562\/dinner\/)\n  Dinners\n  \n  -

Instead opt for ripe bananas that are yellow with a few brown spots.\n- The best and easiest way to mash bananas? With a fork\\!\n- Stir just until the dry ingredients are incorporated. Overmixing can result in dense, tough bread.\n- Start checking a few minutes early; the bread is done when a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs, not wet batter.\n- The recipe calls for a 9x5 loaf pan, but it’s fine if you have something smaller – just increase the cook time by a few minutes.\n## How to Store Banana Bread\nBanana bread will stay fresh for about 4 days at room temperature when stored properly. To keep it moist, place a paper towel in the bottom of an airtight container or zip-top bag. Set the cooled loaf on top, then cover it with another paper towel before sealing tightly. The paper towels absorb excess moisture, preventing sogginess while keeping the banana bread soft. Store in a cool, dry place at room temperature.\n\nAvoid refrigerating banana bread, as it can dry out more quickly in the fridge.\n\n## Can You Freeze Banana Bread?\nYes, banana bread freezes very well! It will keep for 2 to 4 months while maintaining good quality. Wrap the cooled loaf tightly in plastic wrap, then add a layer of aluminum foil. You can also freeze individual slices if you don’t plan to thaw the whole loaf at once. To thaw, let the bread sit at room temperature while still wrapped to retain moisture. Individual slices can be warmed briefly in the microwave or toaster oven.\n\n## Allrecipes Community Tips and Praise\n\"I've made several banana bread recipes here and I always come back to this one,\" says SOULWOLF. \" It is a wonderful standard recipe that you can build upon and customize to your liking. I generally use about 5 medium size bananas but have used a little as three and it still came out good.\"\n\n\"Simple recipe that never fails,\" according to Jheley. \"We Love it! It's now my go-to! I've added nuts, vanilla, cinnamon and chocolate chips (not all at once, but as variations just to experiment a bit and they've all been great) I've also made them as muffins and it literally never fails!\"\n\n\"This turned out so yummy,\" raves Britt Pfaff. \"I'm pretty sure this is the recipe I use every year but always forget! The only change I made was adding vanilla extract and walnuts. I doubled the recipe to make two loaves and my 6-year-old daughter loved making it with me!\"\n\nEditorial contributions by [**Corey Williams**](https:\/\/www.allrecipes.com\/author\/corey-williams\/)\n\nKeep Screen Awake\n\n## Ingredients\n1\/2x\n\n1x\n\n2x\n\nOops!

absolutely packed with banana flavor. This Allrecipes community favorite will quickly become your go-to banana bread recipe\\!\n\n## Banana Bread Ingredients\nYou likely already have all the ingredients you'll need for this banana bread recipe on hand. If not, here's what to add to your grocery list:\n\n- **Flour**: All-purpose flour gives the banana bread structure.\n- **Baking soda**: Baking soda acts as a leavener, which means it helps the banana bread rise.\n- **Salt**: A pinch of salt enhances the overall flavor, but it won't make the loaf taste salty.\n- **Butter**: A stick of butter lends richness, moisture, and irresistible flavor.\n- **Brown sugar**: Brown sugar sweetens things up and adds a hint of warmth.\n- **Eggs**: Eggs act as a binding agent, which means they hold the batter together.\n- **Bananas**: Of course, you'll need bananas! Choose overripe bananas.\n\nMeredith Food Studios\n\n## The Secret to Super Moist Banana Bread\nThis banana bread is super moist thanks to butter, eggs, and brown sugar (which adds more moisture than white sugar). Plus, ripe mashed bananas have plenty of moisture on their own. Bake the bread until just done to prevent it drying out, and wrap the cooled loaf tightly in plastic wrap or foil to lock in moisture.\n\nAllrecipes \/ Grace Elkus\n\n## Test Kitchen Tips\n“This is a no-fuss recipe,” according to culinary producer Nicole McLaughlin (a.k.a.

Meta Canonical	null
Boilerpipe Text	Our most popular banana bread is moist, delicious, and absolutely packed with banana flavor. This Allrecipes community favorite will quickly become your go-to banana bread recipe! Banana Bread Ingredients You likely already have all the ingredients you'll need for this banana bread recipe on hand. If not, here's what to add to your grocery list: Flour : All-purpose flour gives the banana bread structure. Baking soda : Baking soda acts as a leavener, which means it helps the banana bread rise. Salt : A pinch of salt enhances the overall flavor, but it won't make the loaf taste salty. Butter : A stick of butter lends richness, moisture, and irresistible flavor. Brown sugar : Brown sugar sweetens things up and adds a hint of warmth. Eggs : Eggs act as a binding agent, which means they hold the batter together. Bananas : Of course, you'll need bananas! Choose overripe bananas. Meredith Food Studios The Secret to Super Moist Banana Bread This banana bread is super moist thanks to butter, eggs, and brown sugar (which adds more moisture than white sugar). Plus, ripe mashed bananas have plenty of moisture on their own. Bake the bread until just done to prevent it drying out, and wrap the cooled loaf tightly in plastic wrap or foil to lock in moisture.

[NicoleMcMom](https://www.allrecipes.com/author/nicole-mclaughlin/)). “I love a plain, simple banana bread.” Here are a few banana bread tips and tricks from the expert: - Avoid choosing green bananas. Instead opt for ripe bananas that are yellow with a few brown spots. - The best and easiest way to mash bananas? With a fork\! - Stir just until the dry ingredients are incorporated. Overmixing can result in dense, tough bread. - Start checking a few minutes early; the bread is done when a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs, not wet batter. - The recipe calls for a 9x5 loaf pan, but it’s fine if you have something smaller – just increase the cook time by a few minutes. ## How to Store Banana Bread Banana bread will stay fresh for about 4 days at room temperature when stored properly. To keep it moist, place a paper towel in the bottom of an airtight container or zip-top bag. Set the cooled loaf on top, then cover it with another paper towel before sealing tightly. The paper towels absorb excess moisture, preventing sogginess while keeping the banana bread soft. Store in a cool, dry place at room temperature. Avoid refrigerating banana bread, as it can dry out more quickly in the fridge. ## Can You Freeze Banana Bread? Yes, banana bread freezes very well! It will keep for 2 to 4 months while maintaining good quality. Wrap the cooled loaf tightly in plastic wrap, then add a layer of aluminum foil. You can also freeze individual slices if you don’t plan to thaw the whole loaf at once. To thaw, let the bread sit at room temperature while still wrapped to retain moisture. Individual slices can be warmed briefly in the microwave or toaster oven. ## Allrecipes Community Tips and Praise "I've made several banana bread recipes here and I always come back to this one," says SOULWOLF. " It is a wonderful standard recipe that you can build upon and customize to your liking. I generally use about 5 medium size bananas but have used a little as three and it still came out good." "Simple recipe that never fails," according to Jheley. "We Love it! It's now my go-to! I've added nuts, vanilla, cinnamon and chocolate chips (not all at once, but as variations just to experiment a bit and they've all been great) I've also made them as muffins and it literally never fails!" "This turned out so yummy," raves Britt Pfaff. "I'm pretty sure this is the recipe I use every year but always forget! The only change I made was adding vanilla extract and walnuts. I doubled the recipe to make two loaves and my 6-year-old daughter loved making it with me!"

Readable Markdown	Our most popular banana bread is moist, delicious, and absolutely packed with banana flavor. This Allrecipes community favorite will quickly become your go-to banana bread recipe\! ## Banana Bread Ingredients You likely already have all the ingredients you'll need for this banana bread recipe on hand. If not, here's what to add to your grocery list: - Flour: All-purpose flour gives the banana bread structure. - Baking soda: Baking soda acts as a leavener, which means it helps the banana bread rise. - Salt: A pinch of salt enhances the overall flavor, but it won't make the loaf taste salty. - Butter: A stick of butter lends richness, moisture, and irresistible flavor. - Brown sugar: Brown sugar sweetens things up and adds a hint of warmth. - Eggs: Eggs act as a binding agent, which means they hold the batter together. - Bananas: Of course, you'll need bananas! Choose overripe bananas. Meredith Food Studios ## The Secret to Super Moist Banana Bread This banana bread is super moist thanks to butter, eggs, and brown sugar (which adds more moisture than white sugar). Plus, ripe mashed bananas have plenty of moisture on their own. Bake the bread until just done to prevent it drying out, and wrap the cooled loaf tightly in plastic wrap or foil to lock in moisture. Allrecipes / Grace Elkus ## Test Kitchen Tips “This is a no-fuss recipe,” according to culinary producer Nicole McLaughlin (a.k.a. [NicoleMcMom](https://www.allrecipes.com/author/nicole-mclaughlin/)). “I love a plain, simple banana bread.” Here are a few banana bread tips and tricks from the expert: - Avoid choosing green bananas. Instead opt for ripe bananas that are yellow with a few brown spots. - The best and easiest way to mash bananas? With a fork\! - Stir just until the dry ingredients are incorporated. Overmixing can result in dense, tough bread. - Start checking a few minutes early; the bread is done when a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs, not wet batter. - The recipe calls for a 9x5 loaf pan, but it’s fine if you have something smaller – just increase the cook time by a few minutes. ## How to Store Banana Bread Banana bread will stay fresh for about 4 days at room temperature when stored properly. To keep it moist, place a paper towel in the bottom of an airtight container or zip-top bag. Set the cooled loaf on top, then cover it with another paper towel before sealing tightly. The paper towels absorb excess moisture, preventing sogginess while keeping the banana bread soft. Store in a cool, dry place at room temperature. Avoid refrigerating banana bread, as it can dry out more quickly in the fridge. ## Can You Freeze Banana Bread? Yes, banana bread freezes very well! It will keep for 2 to 4 months while maintaining good quality. Wrap the cooled loaf tightly in plastic wrap, then add a layer of aluminum foil. You can also freeze individual slices if you don’t plan to thaw the whole loaf at once. To thaw, let the bread sit at room temperature while still wrapped to retain moisture. Individual slices can be warmed briefly in the microwave or toaster oven. ## Allrecipes Community Tips and Praise "I've made several banana bread recipes here and I always come back to this one," says SOULWOLF. " It is a wonderful standard recipe that you can build upon and customize to your liking. I generally use about 5 medium size bananas but have used a little as three and it still came out good." "Simple recipe that never fails," according to Jheley. "We Love it! It's now my go-to! I've added nuts, vanilla, cinnamon and chocolate chips (not all at once, but as variations just to experiment a bit and they've all been great) I've also made them as muffins and it literally never fails!" "This turned out so yummy," raves Britt Pfaff. "I'm pretty sure this is the recipe I use every year but always forget! The only change I made was adding vanilla extract and walnuts. I doubled the recipe to make two loaves and my 6-year-old daughter loved making it with me!" Editorial contributions by [Corey Williams](https://www.allrecipes.com/author/corey-williams/)
