What makes this Banana Bread super moist:

  • Brown Sugar: In place of granulated sugar I used brown sugar to add extra moisture to the bread.
  • Sour Cream: Adds a nice richness, tang and tons of moisture!
  • Bananas: I add three extra ripe bananas to the bread. They add so much moisture to the batter and extra sweetness!
