It’s been a while since I’ve uploaded a quick bread recipe, and since I always seem to have ripe bananas on hand I decided to share an easy banana bread recipe. I mean, seriously, who doesn’t like homemade moist banana bread? I personally can eat it every day.

Two slices of perfectly moist banana bread served on a small white plate with a small bowl of butter on the side.

How to Make the Most Moist Banana Bread Recipe Ever

This recipe for banana bread is pretty simple, and straight to the point. You honestly can’t mess this banana bread recipe up. Just make sure that you have very ripe bananas on hand. Ripe bananas are the key. The uglier the banana the better the bread. True story!

A slice of fresh, warm and moist banana bread served with a pat of butter. The remainder of the loaf is in the background alongside a knife and a bowl of butter.

This banana bread doesn’t have any nuts or any extra ingredients. It’s a true classic banana bread recipe. However, soon I will be sharing a chocolate banana bread recipe with you all!

Two slices of delicious banana bread smeared with soft butter served on a white plate.

    This banana bread is fabulous!! So moist and flavorful. Over ripe bananas are a must in order to get that banana flavor.
    I do want to mention the how to video is for a different recipe though. Oops!
    Thanks for the simple recipe that is spot on!
