I’m calling this the Best Banana Bread Recipe because it comes out moist and delicious every time.

I’ve been making this recipe for years. I hate anything going to waste so when I have 3 or 4 over-ripe bananas I grab out this recipe.

My family loves this classic treat and it’s a nice change to have warm banana bread with coffee in the morning.

I also try to make this recipe when I have other things going into the oven because it does require quite a bit of baking time.

The ingredients are basic staples you probably already have in your pantry and makes a great gift to give to that new neighbor or bring to a potluck.

Check out the recipe below and enjoy!
