A comforting, incredibly tender banana loaf spiced with cinnamon that stays perfectly moist for days.

Looking for a wonderful make-ahead sweet treat? This Moist Spiced Banana Loaf is the ultimate baking staple that actually improves with time. Using overripe bananas not only saves them from going bad, but it also infuses the crumb with a dense, natural sweetness that locks in moisture. Spiced with warm cinnamon and rich brown sugar, every slice is incredibly comforting. The best part about this banana bread is its shelf life—tightly wrapped, it will stay soft, tender, and intensely flavorful on your counter for two to three days, making it the perfect grab-and-go snack or afternoon dessert alongside your coffee!

  • 3 medium Bananas
  • 250 g Flour

    Let the loaf cool completely in the pan before slicing.

Chef's Tips

  • To ensure it lasts 3 days, wrap the cooled loaf tightly in your meat plastic (cling film) and store it at room temperature.
  • If your bananas aren't completely overripe and spotty, you can bake them in their skins for 10 minutes at 150°C (300°F) to sweeten and soften them first.
  • For extra texture, gently fold a handful of chopped raw cashews or pistachios into the batter before baking.
