Texture looks exceptional! But more flour than banana suggests the banana flavor is not going to be strong enough. I think banana bread has to be rather dense (that means big crumbs). It’s a flavor vs texture thing; can only have one not both. I wish someone would create a recipe that uses way more banana than flour and still somehow ends up with very fine crumbs.

Hi Kamal,

You can probably get away will substituting a portion of the butter, but not all of it or the texture and flavor will be compromised.

Thanks, Zoë

Hi Alice,

If your banana bread was dry, you may want to bake it for a bit less time. Try testing it 10 minutes early and see if a tester comes out clean.

Thanks, Zoë

Sounds great! I plan on making some banana this weekend. I’m going to have to make this spread immediately! It looks perfect and delish.

I’ve used only one banana bread recipe my whole life, my grandmother’s. I know it by heart, no need for the card any more. I saw this recipe and had to try it. This recipe is great. The chocolate adds a “hmmm… what is it?” factor without overwhelming the banana flavor. Moist, great crumb, and best of all, it makes two loaves instead of just one.
