This banana bread is ultra-soft, rich, and perfectly moist—exactly the kind that truly melts in your mouth. The secret is using very ripe bananas and just the right balance of butter and sugar.
Ingredients
- 3 very ripe bananas (mashed)
- 1/2 cup (115g) butter, melted
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease a loaf pan.
In a large bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. Add the melted butter and mix well.
Stir in the sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until fully combined and creamy.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix—this keeps the bread soft and tender.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let the banana bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serving Suggestions
Enjoy warm with butter, honey, or even a drizzle of caramel. It’s perfect for breakfast, snacks, or dessert.
This banana bread is incredibly moist, soft, and full of flavor—the kind you’ll want to make again and again.
