What is the secret to a moist banana bread? Well, if you ask me the secret to a moist banana bread boils down to the ingredients used.

Ingredients :

• Overripe bananas – There is no such thing as overripe bananas when it comes to banana bread. The more dark spots on the bananas the better, as long as the bananas are not moldy. Overripe bananas give the bread an added sweetness that makes it even more yummier.
• All Purpose Flour – provides structure and forms gluten which not only thickens the batter but helps stabilize the cake.
• Eggs – these contribute to the flavor, texture, moisture, and acts as a leavening agent for the cake to rise up better.
• Buttermilk – it has a slight acidity that when it interacts with the baking soda it creates a fluffier and lighter textured baked good.
• Oil – Cakes made with oil is far superior in texture than those made with butter. Cakes with oil stays moist and tender longer than cakes made with butter.
• Vanilla – a humble flavor enhancer.
• Dark Brown sugar – Adding brown sugar gives the bread a touch of molasses which gives the cake a rich taste and color. It also helps with keeping it moist.
• White Sugar – for even more sweetness and helps with influencing the flour to create more gluten.
• Baking Soda – or ‘sodium bicarbonate’ an leavening agent that fluff’s up the baked goods.
• Salt – it brings out all the natural flavors together. It also helps enhance the flavor of the recipe.
• Assorted Nuts – for extra texture and added charm!
