Mmmmh … there’s nothing better than the smell of fresh baked banana bread.  If somebody had told me how easy and fast it is to bake banana bread, I would have made it more often already. Moreover, it’s perfect for using up overripe bananas that you no longer want to eat.

I started experimenting a year ago with the mission to create the best banana bread recipe and I finally feel that I found the ultimate formula for a dense and moist banana bread that’s worth sharing. Here’s my favorite recipe for you.

Notes

I love to add a bit of crunch to my banana bread by mixing in nuts. However, you can also leave them out if you prefer a nut free banana bread. Or you can replace them with any kind of nuts like pecan nuts, cashews, almonds or whatever you like best. Another nice variation to this recipe is adding chocolate chips to the dough.
