A soft, moist, deeply flavorful banana bread that feels warm and homestyle with every slice. This recipe uses deeply ripe bananas for natural sweetness, plus melted butter to create a tender, rich crumb. It’s simple enough for a weekday bake but delicious enough to serve for brunch or as an afternoon treat. With a cozy aroma and golden crust, this banana bread is the type of recipe you’ll find yourself coming back to again and again. It slices beautifully, stays moist for days, and works with a variety of add-ins—from nuts to chocolate—while still remaining perfect in its classic form.
