The softest BANANA BREAD recipe I've ever had. Moist banana loaf

RECIPE: cakesbymk.com/recipe/easy-moi...
SHOP: www.amazon.com/shop/cakesbymk
If you’re looking for a banana bread recipe that is super moist and bursting with banana flavour, then this recipe is it! It comes together so easily, and is finished off with an optional topping of walnuts that add great crunch and texture to the banana loaf - so so good!
INGREDIENTS:
For accuracy, I would recommend using the gram measurements provided as those are the exact quantities I use. Cup measurements are given as estimates (based on US cup measurements) to make it easier for those who do not have a scale.
▢1½ cups (339 g) mashed bananas - about 3 large bananas, must be ripe bananas (the riper the better!)
▢1⅔ cups (200 g) all purpose flour
▢2 tbsp (16 g) cornstarch - also known as cornflour in some countries
▢1 tsp baking powder
▢¾ tsp baking soda
▢½ tsp salt - omit if using salted butter
▢¾ tsp ground cinnamon
▢¾ cup (150 g) soft brown sugar
▢¼ cup (56 g) unsalted butter - room temperature
▢¼ cup (52 g) unflavoured vegetable oil - I use canola oil
▢1½ tsp vanilla essence/extract
▢1 large egg - room temperature, size 7 egg
▢¼ cup walnuts - you can add more or less
Bake at 160 °C (320°F) with the fan on (convection mode) for 1 hour, or until a skewer or knife comes out clean. If you don't have a fan function, increase the temp to 175°C (347°F).

[@hiraq5662]

Can we use granulated brown sugar?

[@billfeld5883]

I've been using your recipe for a while now and I love how things work out, I only had dk. Brown sugar, I hope it is as good as yours!!

[@treehuger3akahalima5]

Made this cake for Iftar a few days back and my husband and in laws absolutely went bonkers for it. I added more bananas because I just had loads at home but still came out so good. Allah’hummah Baarik everything that I have tried of yours so far has come out so good Alhumdulillah ❤️

[@VaWv7]

Ok, but why is she so cute? Seriously I lover her vibe😂❤

[@CakesbyMK]

Haha aww thanks!! :D

[@malindabrown4252]

[@rubbinaabbasi6620]

[@hirausman7901]

[@innocencyike5630]

Her voice is so soothing.

[@oluwatosinbada]

Tried this recipe today and I just want to say thank you. Didn’t know I could make banana bread without milk or yoghurt. It came out really nice.

[@bam2431]

Made this today and totally forgot to put in the vanilla due to my daughter running in the room screaming her head off from falling outside (she's ok) but the banana bread STILL came out SOOOO GOOD! oh and I subbed the AP for cake flour. Wow was it so soft and yummy!!!! This is replacing my old recipe!

[@hauntological]

I made this banana bread and it was by FAR the best I've ever made. I had to make a couple of slight alterations, as follows due to my cupboard being depleted of a few things: I had no baking soda to hand so added more baking powder. I had no walnuts, so used chopped hazelnuts. I had no cinnamon so used 1/2 tsp each of nutmeg and ginger. It came out amazing. I had to give half away to friends as they all loved it. Thanks, MK 💖

[@heathershook6059]

I just made this banana bread and it came out SO GOOD! Soft moist and delicious. You have a new fan. Thank you . I made two. One for my family and one for my custodial staff at work for tomorrow. They are going to LOVE it.❤❤❤

[@oceanic222]

Made this today and it turned out so yummy i swear. It was my first time baking banana bread and I'm so happy ❤. Mine didn't took 1 hour to bake , it took 45-50 minutes...

[@ajchan6095]

Girl I just made this and it’s SO GOOD! I loved your vanilla cake so I decided to try this recipe cause I had some overripe bananas and OMG! I swear my your recipes foreverrrr😍

[@tenitalks]

I just tried this recipe last night and it came out good! Quite different from the technique I used to use but the cake came out lighter but richer ❤️

[@sarahm415]

Hands down the best banana recipe I've tried so far. Thank you/Gracias!!!

[@virginianelson3739]

I baked your recipe today and it came out quite moist . Thanks 🙏 😊

[@tejfilms5326]

I baked it, it's the best I had made till date. Moist on the inside and crunchy on the outside. Used almonds instead of walnuts. It's so good and my family, especially my 2 year old loved it. Thank you for the recipe. You've got a sub

[@cdiballa1]

OOOOHHHH! Can't wait to try this recipe!!! Thank you!

[@Blessed70707]

Goodness! Just made this and it is absolutely scrumptious! ❤❤❤❤

[@n76543]

After I bake any cakes, I cut them up if I don't plan on decorating them and immediately put them in an airtight container lined with tissue roll papers not forgetting the top!! and then cover with the lid. If I don't cut them I wrap in cling foil. All this so the steam helps keep as much moisture and after it cools inside the cakes are the absolute softest it's wonderful! I never leave cakes to cool out in the open as that creates a crust (although it solftens on day 2, the amount of moisture left already) I recommend!

[@CakesbyMK]

That's a great tip! Thanks for sharing :D

[@syedabegum5732]

Thank you for the recipe, I made this banana bread yesterday, it was lovely and I got loads of compliments as how moist the cake was and the flavour was so well balanced 😊

[@divagaliam]

Beautiful banana bread I make it as well seem like cornstarch is the secret. Ingredients. It’s amazing you’re the only second person I know that add walnuts on top I do too, but I put my in the food processor to get a little smaller the walnuts and sprinkle on top for baking. Only reason I do that because I sell them it looks more like it came from a coffee shop. Love your videos you are such a fabulous baker!

[@PrajinaThiruvoth]

Hi Maryam, today I tried your banana bread after searching online for a easy and perfect ones. I was not happy with the previous recipe, it was heavy found it lumpy. OMG your recipe turned out to be exactly how I wanted to be 😄🎉 so pleased with it, so light and tasty even though I didn't have vanilla essance and cinnamon at home so couldn't add it. And I reduced the sugar only added 90gram instead of 150 grms. And only one thing was different from all the other recipe that is adding corn starch in it. As my oven is slightly power full banana bread was ready in 45 mins. I would like to thank you for sharing the excellent recipe. ❤

[@SomewhereInIndiana1816]

this looks delicious! you are an amazing baker!
