This Super Moist Banana Bread recipe yields a deliciously soft and flavorful loaf, perfect for breakfast, snack, or dessert. Made with ripe bananas, a blend of warm spices, and a combination of canola oil and melted butter, it offers a tender crumb and rich texture that keeps well for days.

  • Total Time: 1 hour 45 minutes
  • Yield: 1 loaf (about 10-12 servings)

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg
  • 1 tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3 very ripe bananas, mashed
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup canola oil
  • 4 tbsp melted butter
  • 2 tbsp sour cream
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking the banana bread.
  2. Mash Bananas: Using a fork, mash the ripe bananas thoroughly in a bowl until smooth with some texture remaining.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Set this mixture aside.
  4. Whip Sugar and Eggs: In a stand mixer fitted with a whip attachment, combine the sugar and eggs. Mix on medium speed for about 5 minutes until the mixture becomes light and fluffy.
  5. Add Oil and Butter: Lower the mixer speed to low, then slowly pour in the canola oil and melted butter over about one minute, allowing these fats to incorporate evenly without deflating the mix.
  6. Add Bananas, Sour Cream, and Vanilla: Mix on low speed for another minute to blend the mashed bananas, sour cream, and vanilla extract into the wet ingredients.
  7. Fold in Dry Ingredients: Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the dry flour mixture into the wet batter just until combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the bread tender.
  8. Prepare Pan: Line a 9×5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper, allowing an overhang on the sides. Butter both the pan and the parchment paper thoroughly. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
  9. Bake: Bake the banana bread in the preheated oven for 1 hour. Check the center by gently pressing or inserting a toothpick; if it’s still jiggly or wet, continue baking in 10-minute increments until fully set and a toothpick comes out clean. Total baking time ranges from 1 hour to 1 hour and 30 minutes depending on your oven.

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas for the best flavor and sweetness.
  • Do not overmix after adding the dry ingredients to avoid a dense bread.
  • Adjust baking time based on your oven; some ovens run hotter or cooler.
  • Allow the banana bread to cool fully in the pan before removing for clean slicing.
  • Storing wrapped tightly at room temperature helps keep the bread moist for several days.
