  • this is my go to recipe.. follow the recipe exactly and youll have the best banana bread!

  • Thank you for this delicious Banana bread recipe. My Husband and I enjoy this so much that I am baking my third this very moment . I can't wait to share with my grandkids. I am calling it anabanana bread. Ms. ana from sa tx.

  • can i make this for banana muffins!LUV YOUR VIDEOS!

  • I just make this recipe with a little twist adding half of teaspoon of vanilla extract and small bag of walnuts, it turn out delicious. My kitchenaid mixer arrived today and this is how I got to used it for the first time. Thanks for the recipe Jason.

  • @TheOlavarria49 You're welcome! I'm so glad you like the recipe. Have you tried the black walnuts? Those are really tasty!

  • Thanks!

  • For a one regular loaf of banana bread how much sour cream should i add?

  • @brodygohabsgo

    Hello. Follow this recipe and you will have enough for a regular loaf.

  • I tried this recipe, and it was fabulous!!! The banana bread was so moist!! Thanks so much for sharing!

  • @harishcanwin Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you so much!

  • Great video. Why use sour cream, can you taste it when done ? Will less sugar throw off the taste ? Please help. Thanks

  • @NavyHornet1 Make it as directed and you won't be sorry. Enjoy!

  • I just got a KitchenAid mixer for Christmas, so I decided to give your banana bread a try. Now, keep in mind, I'm just some dude from Boston that's never cooked a thing in his life. After following your recipe to the tee, this banana bread came out AWESOME!!! I've been looking to make something homemade to bring to family events and parties, and I think I've found that perfect thing with your banana bread! Thanks for the recipe!

  • @Goalpost10

    So glad you tried the recipe and thanks for your post!

  • Thanks a bundle ChefTips, this recipe really helped! Instead of using all purpose flour, I grinded oats(whole grains are always more superior to enriched flours, health wise)(can use whole wheat). And instead of all butter, I also used mostly Neufchatel Cheese (similar to cream cheese) instead of all butter. Both (Neufchatel Cheese and grains) I have noticed added an extra richness and moistness to my baked goods! Thanks again Chef!

  • For those ppl who use earbuds, take off the right earbud and enjoy the music :D

  • hello, what if i dont want to put sour cream, it cant be moist without the sour cream?

  • Would it be okay to add walnuts to this recipe?

  • @thatgirl0

    Sure! You can toss in a cup of chopped walnuts if you like.

  • Looks easy and delicious. Thanks for sharing the recipe! I will try it out.

  • another ingredient that moistens the bread is mayonnaise, it may sound weird but it is perfect! it works for me all the time! trust me.

  • Mmmm im eating some banana bread right now <3

  • this is great bread!! I have used it a few times now, and blogged about it :-) the last time I made it I added some nutmeg and cinnamon, and I liked it a lot. Thanks for the recipe!

  • @houseblew

    Your addition sounds good. Thanks for sharing that and for blogging the recipe!

    Cheers!

  • Great banana bread.... Thank u so much..

  • Wow that is a lot of sugar, is it really necessary to use so much?

  • @cherylche Feel free to adapt it to your own personal tastes.

  • @cherylche Its not that much more, most recipes usually have a cup or more.

  • Could you let me know i want to try recipe is it salted or unsalted butter?

  • @SuperSharonHill Either one will be fine. I think I used unsalted.

  • @ChefTips Thanks will try it tomorrow

  • Banana Bread is a pain in the arse to make in a Loaf Pan... Sometimes the center does not get cooked. Using that Bundt Pan is a neat idea. My oven doesn't cook evenly I believe..

  • "Tubing in" ... Clever. So ... can I use oil instead of butter? Thanks.

  • @VenusAsABoyFilms

    Hello.

    No. Stick with the butter for this recipe.

  • @ChefTips I just made it with Canola Oil and it came out good, very moist. Next time I will use butter to see the difference. :-)

  • @VenusAsABoyFilms Cool! Let me know if you notice a difference.

  • few days back I added strawberries together with just one banana coz i had run out of then... ha ha. and it was like a strawberry moist bread. Family enjoyed it. :D

  • I WANT THAT

  • 4 tbs Sour Cream = 1/4 cup of Sour Cream

  • Thank u so much! I tried this recipe today and it came out perfect, and moist like u said! Yummy. Definitely the best banana bread I have ever tried.

  • @amoura289

    Thanks for commenting. Glad you enjoyed the recipe!

  • Mmmm, I cooked this and it was moist as promised. Thank you, chef. Is there a way to make sure the top doesn't become too firm?

  • @tereitz08

    Hello. If your oven burner is at the top of your oven, try putting it on the bottom shelf.

  • Can i use oil instead of butter? ..and what kind of oil would be best?

  • @jillaassaad You can try oil, but I've never made it that way. I would think a plain canola oil would work.

  • Hey chef, can I use one teaspoon of baking powder ( instead of baking soda) and half spoon of baking soda( instead of baking powder)? What is the difference if I use more baking powder and less baking soda with your recipe? 

  • Hi Sir,

    I followed yr recipe but my bread just won't rise. I was so disappointed. Can tell me where does it go wrong ? Thks

  • @eagleyige Could have been either your oven, or the baking soda/powder was too old? Did you follow the recipe exactly as directed?

  • Hey! I added a link to this video on my teenage, baking blog. This banana bread is totally delicious.

    Check out my blog Love for Baking

  • i just made this, but in a muffin tray, and wow, my 1st time making any sort of banana bread, and wow they came out awesome!!! um um um um um um um um not one left over!!!!!!! thanks! made mine with brown sugar as well, all i had!! lol

  • @PoleGypsy Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. It's one of our personal favorites!

  • WOW..just made it with all the sugar I had..which was a little less than 1 cup..it is absolutely delicious..just the way I like it..just sweet enough since I don't like it too sweet..Thanks..the funnel cake is next

  • I've used greek yogurt and it was amazing!

  • @meggiemeg86 Did you use it instead of the sour cream? I'll have to try that next time!

  • I used your recipe last night and wow! My banana bread was amazing, thank you sooo much. :)

  • @yosiemac You're welcome!

  • I made this recipe 2 cups of whole grain bread flour 1/2 cups of honey 2 eggs 1 tsp of baking soda/powder 1 tsp cinnamon 3 very ripe mashed bananas 1/2 cup of salted sweet butter cream (creamed with honey or sugar) 1 tsp vanilla extract (pure) 4 tablespoons of sour cream So what do you think? Also do the bananas have to be real ripe so the bread won't turn out fluffy?
  • @atlastpeace Sounds like a different recipe, but did it turn out well?

  • @ChefTips The first time was the delectable but I'm going to try to make it again to double check it. I just made this up for fun and tried it and it was good. I hope you can test it out yourself too and see what you think has to improve.

  • Hey Chef, I really love this video and I used your recipe to bake a very wonderful and yummy banana cake. I tried several recipes before,but the one you post here is the best. The banana cake tastes great, the texture is moist and soft, the presentation is good too. I added walnut and cranberry, the taste is wonderful.

    Thank you very much for your sharing, and sharing your secret ingredient--sour cream, you are a good chef and wish to see more of your posting and sharing here. Best wishes.

  • @sunflowercoffeetea Thank you so much for the kind comment! All the best to you as well! Jason

  • Can i make this without the sour cream? Please respond.

  • @bronzeradar No, it won't be right without it. It's the secret ingredient!!!

  • i only had 2 bananas, so i added a cup and a half of fresh blueberries. OMG

  • @helloakayan

    Thanks for that! =]

  • I always did same recipie then did this bananna bread its so good veey soft I also add nuts:)

  • Delicious and easy to make! Try it you wont be disappointed!!

  • ive never made banana bread in my life but tried this recipe a few days ago and WOW! it has quickly became a new family favorite! thank u so much for this recipe..

  • @Val2632 You're welcome! Glad you liked it!

  • Thanks for the recipe i made the bread today is delicious!! Thanks again :)

  • @ezal02 You're welcome!

  • I learned how to cook banana bread but I noticed that you added a sour cream to it. What is the sour cream for?

  • @MrJayvie80572 That's the secret ingredient that makes this so incredibly moist!

  • Sweet I have the same blender :)

  • You can do that or go to the bakery and buy some.....

  • @ussama321 It's not the same. :)

  • @ussama321 if you don't want to bake why are you watching a recipe video??

  • @ussama321 I'm getting really tired of you retards watching cooking videos and then saying stuff like "it's easier to go buy some" if that is the case with you lazy no class people then stop watching cooking videos and take your ass to the grocery store

  • My relative, who shall remain anonymous, made banana bread which resembles hard tack! It was his first attempt. I am reminded that cooking is an art, baking is a science. You must follow the recipe!!! I am sure the second attempt will be better. Thank you for the video.

  • @Mamasan41 Hope you enjoy our recipe! Yes, following the recipe is very important! :)

  • I ADDED 1/3 CUP OF MILK.. IT WAS INCREDIBL MOIST AND REDICULOIUSLY DELICOUS!!!!

  • This really is the best banana bread I have ever had. I have made it so many times and everyone loves it. As an added bonus I like to sprinkle the pan with cinnamon sugar on top of the cooking spray. It gives a very light dusting of sweetness to the crust. Really good :)

  • @MamaKarens

    Sounds good! Thanks for sharing! =]

  • sour cream... ooh.

  • Hey Chef,

    Can we pour the batter into a muffin tin and make muffins which is sorta more kid friendly or would that affect it in anyway?

  • @Ihab23

    You will have to keep an eye on your first batch to see how they come out. The cooking time will be a bit shorter. Let us know how they turn out!

    Cheers!

  • Hey Chef, I've made this a couple times now. It's awesome cause you can add a lot of different things to it ex. dates or walnuts and it still tastes awesome. I substituted out canola oil for butter a couple times which worked also and even yogurt for sour cream. Still turned out great

  • I thinking how to make banana bread beer :D

  • I added an extra 15ml of sourcream and a extra 30 ml of cocoa powder. 24 muffins are cooking right now. I'll let you guys know how they come out!

  • @TarAcadienne

    How were they?

  • what if you don't have that kind of mixer that was used in the video what do you do then PLEASE somebody let me know my bread alway come out dry and not properly cook HELP Me (u n u)...

  • @Emilyaucoin

    The mixing can be done with other mixers. Just don't over mix with whatever you use.

  • @ChefTips so with a spoon lets say i use, how many stirs do i do and what texture do i look for?

  • @Emilyaucoin

    I would stir until is the consistency of a cake batter than you can pour into the baking pan. Make sure there are no dried flour clumps and you should be good to go!

  • @ChefTips thank you i shall remember that <3

  • Is it okay if I change the flour to whole wheat flour?

  • @yellovers1 Absolutely!

  • Hi Jason! I moved to the Republic of Georgia and of course banana bread is unheard of overseas. Your banana bread is a big hit in my small Georgian town! The European diplomats like it as well. My friend and I will make some huge batches for the poor refugee kids that we teach and my Romanian friend is spreading the recipe around Bucharest!!! You are going global!

  • @kshanafelt Wow! What a compliment! I'm so glad you are all enjoying the recipe and that it's being put to good use — especially for the poor refugee kids. Very, very cool!! Cheers, Jason

  • @ChefTips I've made this 3 times  and it is a no fail regardless of what baking pan I use

    so ignore my previous inquiry The batch I did in the bundt pan I purchased actually was a little overdone at 1 hr so I assumed my oven temp to be off and baked the mini loaf pans for 40 min and they were perfect

  • It looks so good, i can almost smell it.

  • @pgasca123 Thanks!

  • love banana bread

  • this is definitely my go to banana bread recipe

  • @ChefTips I don't have a bundt pan. What would you suggest timewise for mini loaf pans the recipe will fill 4 mini pans I guess it's about 1 3/4 cup batter each maybe

  • Can someone tell me how much mashed bananas should add up to? 2 cups?

  • @slamnxgirlxjulie

    Hello. It depends on their size. So anywhere from two to six I would guess.

  • @ChefTips Doesn't it aways have to be the same amount ?

  • Gonna try your recipe tomorrow, looks delicious!

  • i'm in love w/ this banana bread!! i'm always stocked up on bananas now for it just in case!! thanks!! :)

  • @janers01 So glad you like it!

  • @ChefTips Thank you for this great recipe, I have now made it three times and every time has been great everybody loves it!

  • @abelinhazoomzoom

    Great! And thanks for sharing that!

  • If I don't have baking powder will that make a big difference?

  • @bluewilbur

    Yes because the powder helps lighten it up! =]

  • @ChefTips Thanks man. I made this for my girlfriend and damn. All I'm gonna say is that...it wasn't the worst night of my life :)

  • nice one i'll try it. thx !

  • what pan should i use if i dont have a bundt pan?

  • @KSKMawesome

    Hi. You can use a bread loaf pan.

  • terrible with all that sugar

  • @tinolino58

    Yeah, who wants a little sweetness in their lives once in awhile....

  • Many good recipes for banana bread but this one here has got to be the best of them all :) thank you!!!!

  • is the sour cream optional?

  • @Rmaykupjunkie

    Yes, but I recommend using it. =]

  • @Rmaykupjunkie I use Weight Watchers sour cream in anything where I need it and its so low in fat that there's no reason to feel bad about using it. Great recipe, used it a year or so ago and came back today to find it and use it again.

  • @dw0412

    Good tip! Thanks for sharing!

  • Thank You for posting this recipe. I have come back time and time again to make this recipe and always look for your video! The best recipe that I have tried. I have tried many!

  • @ragina77 Thanks! I'm so glad you like it. Cheers, Jason

  • Hi Chef, a stupid question, what is the difference of banana bread and banana cake? Thanks.

  • @WAWAWAWAWWAWAWAWAWAW I suppose a cake would have frosting...

  • I just tried this recipe today but i forgot baking soda will it make a differnece?

  • @msmaix1 Sorry for the late reply. How did it turn out?

  • Going bananas for banana bread. yum!

  • made this recipe without the sour cream and it was still delicious and super moist!

  • @nikkinguyen02 Cool. Good to hear!

  • @nikkinguyen02 Cool. Good to hear!

  • Ok so I just tried out this recipe (but I used 4 small bananas and 2 big ones) and i was able to make 2 pans, one with chocolate chips and WOW this recipe is sooo amazing!! Initially my sister thought the sour cream would make it taste weird but it was soooo moist and soft and VERY delicious! Our family has just found a way to make use of super ripe bananas! THANKS CHEF JASON!!!

  • @ugomma You're welcome! So glad you all enjoy this! Cheers, Jason

  • When you mash up the bananas how much is there 2 cups of mashed banana?

  • who would dislike? have they tried this recipe???

  • Amazing! I doubled the recipe but only used 2 cups of sugar (67% of the amount in the recipe) and it was still plenty sweet. Also, I added frozen blueberries and it was unbelievably delicious. Thanks Chef!

  • Thanks for the recipe....Is it possible to use whole wheat flour in place of the all purpose flour?

  • @Assassin977 Yes, you can!

  • i tried this recipe and let me tell u im in LOVE my mothers recipe is being replaced:) Do u know if i want 2 substitute the sugar to apple sauce how much of the apple sauce should i use?..AAhhh these new years resolutions kick your butt!

  • @kalisfinest805 Wow! What a compliment! Thanks for sharing. Good luck on your diet. Instead of the apple sauce, I would just splurge on a small slice. :)

  • OMG I just baked this meanest Banana Bread with some chocolate chip... FINALLY perfected the recipe OMG... pure tastegasim right now. hmmmmm

  • I look forward to try this at home

  • Do we have to mix in the machine? Can't we mix it manually?

  • @danielismiracle You can mix it by hand.

  • Great video ......in place of sour cream (very hard to find in Italy) can I use yogurt or mascarpone? Thank you and a very Happy Holidays.

  • @suskky

    People have said that yogurt has worked in place of the sour cream. I am not sure about mascarpone. Try it and let us know! =]

  • this videos was really great, now i have an idea how to make this recipe, it is ok if i'm using steamer?thanks

  • I love all of your recipes. thank you

  • @zomorod You're welcome!

  • i loooove banana bread =)

  • made this twice now.tried many banana cakes but this is by far the best.extremely moist and fluffy.made some changes to suit my family's preference, though.i used only a cup of sugar and used yoghurt instead of sour cream and increased baking powder to 1 tsp.i also gently folded in the flour in the end for a softer and fluffier cake

  • thanks chef last night I made ur recipe and we all loved it it is so moist and yummmy realy delicious !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @mssamantha78

    You're welcome. Thanks for commenting!

  • how would this turn out with cream cheese instead of sour cream?

  • @luis703487

    Hello. There are recipes for banana bread that use cream cheese. For this recipe, stick with the sour cream.

  • Hey thanks man I never knew how to cook till I started watching your videos ha!

  • @symboite23 Thanks! I'm glad to hear that! :)

  • hi chef jason, i was wondering if i can use the egg whites only instead of using the yolk so i can lower the cholesterol level, would it make the banana bread different?

  • @gunboykhang Go ahead and give it a try. I'm not certain how it will turn out, but it's worth testing!

  • @gunboykhang

    Hello. I have never made this recipe with egg whites. In baking, the white of the egg and the yolk combine to make a nice texture. Using only the whites will work. You will end up with healthier bread that has less texture. If you make this, please let us know how it turns out.

    Cheers!

  • I made this once before, but it's been a while. I'm going to make it again tomorrow. I'm going to do one thing a little different. I'm going to try using vanilla yogurt instead of sour cream. It might come out better, it might come out worse, but I'll never know if I don't experiment. Unless you tried that already. If you did, how did it turn out?

  • @elpilotoazul Haven't tried it. Please let us know how that works for you!

  • @ChefTips I used vanilla yogurt instead of sour cream. Stay with the sour cream. It didn't come out anywhere near as good as the sour cream one I made the first time. You can't shoot me for trying something different, though. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

  • @elpilotoazul Good to know. Thanks for being our tester! Cheers, Jason

  • Okay its 3:30 PM and I just popped the pan in the oven... we shall see ( or taste rather) I think the hard part is the wait. Funny part, I was online looking at a knitting videos... then I thought about all the bananas i had to toss out because they were going bad... lol glad I came across your video. I was going to throw out perfectly -good for baking- bananas.. ( I'm thankful for my random thoughts lol )

  • @SittingPrettymn

    Funny story! Thanks for sharing. 

    Hope you enjoyed the recipe!

  • Will this be too much to fit a bread pan?

  • @livelovelearn421 You would probably need two.

  • Can I use a bread pan instead or would that be too small?

  • I made this over at my parents place. THEY LOVED IT. and so did I. ;-) Thanks for sharing this one.

  • @gorikuri You're welcome! Glad they enjoyed it!

  • i've tried quite a few banana bread recipes in the past...so far this one is by far the best of em all ! I'm glad I've found this one , Tnx to You tube and to you chef JH ! This one is now my forever banana bread recipe!!

  • @needle27 Good to hear! It's one of our favorite recipes! Cheers, Jason

  • Can I add less Sugar.

  • @dulcelake Certainly.
