🍌 Moist Banana Bread (2 Loaves)
Ingredients
3 ripe bananas, mashed (the browner, the better)
1 cup (200g) sugar (white, brown, or half & half)
½ cup (115g) melted butter or oil
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
1½ tsp cinnamon (optional but 🔥)
2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
Optional add-ins: chocolate chips, walnuts, pecans
For that shiny top (optional)
1–2 tbsp honey or sugar syrup brushed on after baking
🧁 Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F / 175°C
Grease or line two loaf pans.
Mash bananas in a big bowl.
Mix wet ingredients
Add sugar, melted butter/oil, eggs, and vanilla. Stir until smooth.
Add dry ingredients
Sprinkle in baking soda, salt, cinnamon, then gently fold in flour.
Don’t overmix — a few lumps = tender bread.
Fold in extras (if using).
Bake
Divide batter between pans.
Bake 45–60 minutes, until a toothpick comes out mostly clean.
Optional shine
Brush tops lightly with honey or simple syrup while warm for that glossy finish like in your photo ✨
🔥 Pro Tips
For extra moist bread: replace 2 tbsp butter with Greek yogurt or sour cream
Want it richer? Add ½ cup brown sugar instead of white sugar
Let it rest 20–30 min before slicing (hard, I know 😅)
