OUR FAVORITE BANANA BREAD
The Epicurious test kitchen baked up the most popular versions of banana bread on our site to discover what we like (or didn't like) about each one. Then we made our ultimate version: a sweet, nutty, and supremely moist loaf that is everything we could ever want in this classic quick bread.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x5" loaf pan with butter and dust with flour, tapping out any excess.
- Combine banana, sour cream, and vanilla in a medium bowl. Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.
- Using an electric mixer, beat butter and brown sugar on medium speed in another large bowl until light and fluffy, about 3 1/2 minutes. Add eggs one at a time and beat on medium speed until fully combined, about 1 minute each. Add banana mixture and beat until just combined, about 30 seconds. Add dry ingredients in 2 batches, beating on low after each addition and scraping down sides of bowl if necessary, until fully incorporated, about 20 seconds per batch. Fold in walnuts. Transfer batter to prepared pan and smooth top with a spatula.
- Bake, rotating halfway through, until batter is set, top is dark golden brown and starting to crack, sides are starting to pull away from pan, and a tester inserted into center of bread comes out clean, 60-65 minutes. Cool in pan on a wire rack at least 15 minutes. Run a butter knife around perimeter of pan to loosen loaf, then tap pan gently on its side until loaf releases. Transfer to a cutting board or plate and let cool completely before slicing.
SOMETHING DIFFERENT BANANA BREAD
Just a small amount of chocolate to complement the banana flavor - Yum! This recipe was submitted by a woman named Nicole for an event at my church. The original recipe called for "2 pinches of coconut," but since the instructions never said where or when to add the coconut, I've left it out. I've made this bread twice now without the glaze, and it's very good just as is. It's moist but still holds together when you slice it.

THE BEST BANANA BREAD
We have a lot of requirements when it comes to banana bread and we finally created a recipe that ticks all the boxes. It's moist, tender, a little tangy and perfectly sweet-all around our favorite one. The best part is that it's even better the next day (if it lasts that long). Try toasting the bread and slathering with a little salted butter. We're pretty sure you'll never need another banana bread recipe.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly butter one 9-by-5-inch loaf pan.
- Whisk together the flour, pecans, granulated sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon salt and nutmeg in a large bowl. Whisk together the eggs, melted butter, buttermilk, brown sugar and vanilla in a medium bowl; stir in the mashed bananas. Fold the banana mixture into the flour mixture until just combined (it's OK if there are some lumps).
- Pour the batter into the buttered pan and lightly tap the pan on the counter to evenly distribute the batter. Bake until browned and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out completely clean, about 1 hour. Let the bread cool for 10 minutes in the pan, then turn out onto a rack to cool completely.

- Vegan Baked Banana Oatmeal. Basically a healthy breakfast cake, this has a gooey center and deliciously crisp edges—and it’s super easy. Mix together oats, banana, milk, chia seeds, dried fruit, and seasonings; pour into a pan (or mini mason jars for easy portioning); and bake.
- Breakfast Cookies. It’s hard to beat cookies for breakfast, and it certainly doesn’t hurt that these hearty ones are loaded with good-for-you ingredients like oats, nut butter (we like almond for a dose of anti-inflammatory vitamin E), cranberries, pumpkin seeds, and raisins.
- Banana Nut Muffins. This banana recipe takes 10 minutes to mix, so there’s really no reason to buy from the bakery. Plus, your kitchen will smell amazing.
- Bananas Foster French Toast. A New Orleans dessert meets a brunch favorite in this delightful, indulgent mash-up of cinnamon-y, fluffy bread topped with caramelized bananas.
- Banana Coconut Chia Pudding Parfaits. This make-ahead breakfast is perfect for stumble-out-of-bed mornings. Blend the pudding ingredients and let it sit overnight to thicken, then layer it with banana, oats, walnuts, and coconuts.
- Healthy Banana Bread. Proof that banana bread doesn’t need butter, eggs, or sugar, this vegan version uses dates to let the natural sweetness of the nanas shine through and flaxseed to bind all the ingredients together.
- Banana Vanilla Bean Pancakes With Mixed Berry Compote. Paleo pancakes can be made with only three ingredients, but using a few more jazzes them up and still keeps them friendly for cavemen and gluten-free eaters.
- Banana Granola. Boxed granola usually tastes, well, like a box. This recipe combines fresh bananas with almonds, pumpkin seeds, oats, and a touch of maple syrup for a crunchy treat that goes great with yogurt and fresh fruit.
- Banana No-Bake Cookies. Anytime we can have cookies in less time, we’re happy. Needless to say, no-oven-required is our kind of baking! Gluten free and vegan, these fudgy cookies use all unprocessed ingredients to make a treat that tastes just as decadent as something from the bakery (without the sugar coma).
- Banana Butter. Bananas and peanut butter are like meat and potatoes—it’s almost a sin to have one without the other. So why not blend them together for an addictive spread that’s great on muffins, sandwiches, and pancakes; in oatmeal—or just straight off the spoon!
14 AMAZING BANANA BREAD RECIPES - THE SPRUCE EATS

- Banana Date Bread. The addition of chopped dates gives this awesome banana bread even more sweet, earthy flavor and a unique, chewier texture. Dates work great as a substitute to nuts if you have an allergy, or a complement to them if you want to toss in some chopped walnuts or pecans, as well.
- Banana Nut Bread. This moist, flavorful banana bread comes in as a fan favorite, with tons of five-star reviews. And once you try it, you'll understand why.
- Moist Banana Bread With Coconut Oil. Turn your breakfast bread into dessert or treat yourself to some sweetness with the addition of chocolate chips. They give your classic banana bread just enough flare for a special breakfast or brunch, or a delicious after-work snack.
- Double Chocolate Banana Bread. For a totally new twist on banana bread, add unsweetened cocoa powder for a dose of rich, chocolatey flavor, then sprinkle mini chocolate chips on top before baking for a pretty presentation and even more melted chocolate goodness.
- Healthy Banana Bread. A few smart swaps make this banana bread a little healthier than your standard, without sacrificing flavor. Yogurt adds moisture without extra oil, a blend of whole-wheat and all-purpose flours add extra fiber, and flaxseed pumps up both while contributing to leavening.
- Instant Pot Banana Bread. Yes, you can bake in your Instant Pot! This banana bread recipe comes out moist and flavorful. Just wrap the pan tightly in foil before baking so the steam doesn't get into the bread, making it mushy.
- Bread Machine Banana Bread. Use your bread machine to make an easy, moist, and delicious banana bread without a lot of work. Most quick breads will bake in a standard bread machine in two hours, since the longer cycle usually results in heavier breads, like whole wheat.
- Bourbon Banana Bread. This kicky banana bread recipe makes a fun twist on Nigella Lawson's classic banana bread, but with a luscious bourbon glaze and some extra booze in the batter to give it a wonderful moist texture.
- Vegan Banana Bread. Make your banana bread vegan and low-fat by omitting the oil and eggs and adding just 1/3 cup vegan margarine. It makes an excellent introductory recipe for new vegan bakers, since it doesn't require any egg substitutes.
- Banana Bread with Orange Zest. The addition of orange zest gives this banana bread a little extra citrus note that complements the banana perfectly. If you can, give it a day after baking to let the flavors mellow and meld.
