Buttery and dense, this is my best banana bread. The riper the bananas, the better.
My secret weapon.
If baking is therapy, then this cake – like bread is as therapeutic to make as it is rewarding to eat.
Why? It uses everyday ingredients you probably have in your pantry and fridge.
Plus, it’s a sweet, delicious treat for everyday and special occasions.
The ultimate comfort food.
I make a double batch of this banana bread about once a week. For family, for friends, for anyone who needs a homemade sweet to cheer them up.
A difference you can taste.
Although a little more expensive, I love to use a good quality, unsalted cultured butter like Kerrygold. It makes a big difference in the taste.
Special diet variations:
Vegans or Kosher style: Use vegan butter, flax or chia eggs and a plain, dairy free yogurt instead of sour cream.
Gluten free: Use a gluten free flour blend.
Lower sugar: Use 1/2 cup white sugar and 1/4 cup brown sugar. Make sure to use very ripe, almost black bananas. Although it will not be as sweet, it will still taste great.

This recipe along with the tips were the best one I have ever made. Mine are usually dense and under cooked in the middle.
