The Best Banana Bread Recipe

[@billgingerich1697]

My wife and I have had a lot of extra time on our hands lately and have been baking up a storm ,we think you are a breath of fresh air and would like to thank you for your diligence and hard work to keep these recipes streaming, oh and this banana bread rocks especially with the sugar sprinkled on top thank you so much.

[@SugarSpunRun]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate that. It's very nice to know that my recipes are well appreciated. You made my day. Happy baking! :)

[@tazzmann69696969]

My family voted today on the best banana bread recipe I've made this year. This is hands down the best I've ever made! 1/2 butter and 1/2 oil, buttermilk and to top it off, the sugar on top brought the grand finale. Thank you!

[@SugarSpunRun]

I'm so happy my recipe was a hit for your family ❤️

[@sewcrazybaker]

I really MUST try this banana bread recipe! It looks exactly like the banana bread my Mom made for us when we were kids! We are now 73, 70 and 67. I'm the 70 year old "kid". 😃

This is the Best Banana bread ever. Thanks Samantha. I don't like vegetable oil so I used more butter and also put in chocolate chips and pecans. Everyone loves it. Thank you again

[@HeyNowMal]

OMG!!! Sam this recipe is honestly the absolute BEST banana bread I have ever had in my life. I was having a banana bread craving about a week ago so I just googled a recipe. It was okay but lacking in flavor. More than half of the loaf is still sitting in my kitchen. That recipe included cinnamon, and I thought maybe next time I'd add a little bit more. Your recipe doesn't call for any cinnamon but did include buttermilk, which was the only ingredient I had to go to the store for. The difference in flavor is CRAZY! Your recipe turned out much brighter and much more moist. And the sugar on top made the yummiest crunchy topping. My bananas were just barely brown so I can only imagine how great the recipe would be with very brown bananas. Sorry for the rant but I am so impressed with this recipe and literally every single recipe of yours that I've tried has been excellent. You need to be on the Food Network!

[@SugarSpunRun]

Thank you so much! That means so much to me. 😊 thank you for taking the time to write this out for me. These kinds of comments make my day. I’m so glad you enjoyed the banana bread.

[@Sabina-rk7jv]

I made this twice and it is by far the best banana bread recipe out there! The first time I made it I forgot to add the melted butter (left it in my microwave and totally forgot about it) and it still was delish! The second time I didn’t forget to add the melted butter and OMG, to die for!

[@SugarSpunRun]

I'm so glad you made it a second time--the butter adds such a nice flavor! 💛

[@joannemankuski1301]

LOL I did the same thing and it still came out moist. That's so funny. I have made it since and it is better with the butter!

[@janethardaker8414]

I have made banana bread before, but never one as tasty and moist as this recipe, it is certainly my go to recipe for the future

[@SugarSpunRun]

I'm so glad you enjoyed it so much! :)

[@dab7271]

I just made this and it was great! A tip: if you want to ripen your bananas more, pop them in the oven for 10-12 minutes at 350 while they are still in their peels. They will come out totally blackened and very mushy on the inside…which is exactly what you want for baking!! 😊

[@SugarSpunRun]

I have heard of baking the bananas before but I've never tried it.

[@dab7271]

It works like a charm! I do 350 for 12 minutes!!

@@SugarSpunRun Hey Sam, so I just made this banana bread again to give to someone. First time I made this it developed a huge crack along the entire length to one side. I thought, no bigs as I seen other people's banana bread crack as well. This time, it developed two cracks down the length on either side of the center-line and between the cracks looked like a crusty cap or hat on my bread. Was kinda ugly but texture inside and taste was on point. I did double sift my flour. Could that be the cause of the cracks?

This is the same 15 but now 16 year old making the banana cake a while back from one of the videos on your channel, and I enjoyed it just like I did the cake.

[@angelosalazar9298]

So I tried this recipe and the banana bread was not too good it wasn't that sweet and banana flavor was just not there but I think it's because I used frozen riped bananas I did let them thaw out but just was not too good. Do you think it's because of the frozen bananas I used ?

I’m so sorry. The frozen bananas themselves aren’t the problem but if they weren’t really ripe you’ll lose a lot of flavor there.

Can I use a 1/4 cup coconut oil instead of vegetable oil??

[@kevinalexander8914]

Probably

[@scarlett9050]

Can I sub the buttermilk with anything else? Can't afford to buy a special ingredient that I'm only going to use a 1/4 cup of and then likely throw away the rest. Thanks!

You can make my buttermilk substitute. :) sugarspunrun.com/easy-buttermilk-substitute/

Can I steam it?

[@SugarSpunRun]

Hmmm I'm not sure. I haven't tried it. If you do let me know how it goes. :)

Can I brown my butter before adding?

[@SugarSpunRun]

That should work just fine. :)

[@mayanganggani7025]

can i substitute buttermilk with sourcream?

[@SugarSpunRun]

I have never substituted using sour cream so I am not certain how it will do. I do have a buttermilk substitute that you can use instead. I hope that you enjoy the banana bread. 🙂

Hi Sam, how are you? I was thinking about doing your banana bread recipe again and want to add chocolate chips to make it into a chocolate chip banana bread. How much chocolate chips should I use?

[@SugarSpunRun]

Hi Michelle! You can add about 1 ¼ cups of chocolate chips 😊

[@lizap16]

Absolutely LOVE the muffins version, but wondering why the bread recipe doesn’t also use the two temperature method?

[@SugarSpunRun]

Hi Liza! I am so glad you enjoy the muffins! So I use two temperatures with the muffins because it helps give the muffins a nice lift, starting with that higher temperature and then dropping it helps the muffin batter rise and gives them a light fluffy body and nice high muffin tops. Banana bread is denser than muffins and we don’t need that same rise, so we can just cook it on one temperature here. I hope that helps explain it! 😊

[@lizap16]

Sugar Spun Run yes thank you! I didn’t know there was a difference between the two- I thought the bread was just a big muffin 🙈 Your extra details and explanations are so helpful! They’re helping me make more educated guesses when I’m unsure about a recipe.

I’m so happy to help. 😊
