Moist and Delicious Banana Bread

This simple and delicious banana bread comes out of the oven with a crisp and chewy crust and moist crumb. The mix of white and brown sugars adds a depth of flavor not found in traditional banana bread recipes. Update: We have also shared our recipe for instant pot banana bread!

It will stay fresh on the counter tightly wrapped in foil or plastic wrap for a few days. Although, it may not last that long. I made a double batch of this bread and my kids and I ate an entire loaf that first morning.

You can also freeze the banana bread whole or in slices for up to 3 months. Just pull the slices out individually and pop them in your toaster for a few minutes.
