Easy Moist and Dense Banana Bread

moist and dense banana bread 01When it comes to banana bread, I like mine soft, moist, and dense, with a glass of milk. Not dry and flaky. I’ve tried a couple of banana bread over the years that are equally good but lacking the moist and dense qualities I prefer. This favorite recipe achieves that. Just one slice is enough to make one satiated.

If you are looking for a classic banana bread that’s super easy and yields a loaf of the best banana bread you’ll ever have. The most important things to remember is to use overripe bananas and to make sure to stir the batter just enough to moisten.
