The Best Banana Bread Recipes

When you love banana bread as much as I do, you need for every mood and craving. Whether you want a classic loaf of banana bread, a healthier version made with oats or a loaf studded with pecan nuts, I’ve got you covered with 8 of the best banana bread recipes.

Banana bread is a family favorite in most households and even though we all usually have a recipe we always go back to, these banana bread recipes are varied and interesting, making the most of the humble banana loaf. The trick, regardless of flavours and additions, to the very best banana bread is to use over-ripe bananas. The darker and squishier, the better. This will result in a deep, almost caramelized banana flavor which is exactly what you want in your banana bread.
