We make our fair share of banana bread around here due to the fact that we are repeat offenders of banana neglect. When I buy bananas I just never know if they will be eaten up right away, or sit on the counter to await their fate as an ingredient in a baked good. It's great to have a moist banana bread recipe just in case. Sponsored post by Mirum Shopper. All opinions are my own.
Banana Neglect
Seeing the sad bananas on my counter, I was on the hunt for a new banana bread recipe. I headed to the recipe section on the Jewel website. They have some amazing recipes to browse before you head in to do your grocery shopping. I quickly found a recipe for banana bread using I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter and was on my way to grab all of the ingredients. The moist banana bread recipe they suggest is perfect for customizing with your favorite add-ins.
It turned out to be the perfect banana bread day, too. Right after my Jewel shopping trip, the sky opened up, and it started storming. The weather cooled a bit, and I felt enough of a hint of fall to get the urge to bake. I know it's still August, and I should stop rushing the summer, but fall is officially my favorite season.
I decided to add cinnamon chips and a smidgen of peanut butter to the banana bread. The add-in possibilities are endless depending on your tastes. The bread is also delicious without changing a thing. The I Can't Believe It's Not Butter makes this bread the most delicious texture. Plus, there's a $2 off offer right now for I Can't Believe It's Not Butter and several other Unilever products. Also check the MyMixx app for more savings at Jewel.

As much as I dislike the word – Moist – is the best way to describe this banana bread. It's so super scrumptious that I do believe it will be my new go-to banana bread recipe. Next time I want to try it with more peanut butter and maybe some chocolate chips. Yum!

I cannot tell you how many times we have been neglectful of our bananas, too. Seriously, once they start to turn my mom usually sticks them in the freezer in hopes we would ‘do banana bread one day.’ We ended out cleaning the freezer once and there were so many ‘one day’ bananas in there it’s a wonder we got anything else in! This recipe sounds absolutely heavenly; maybe we’ll finally on purpose make some banana bread!
Jennifer says
Oh!!! Yes, I am guilty of putting them in the freezer for smoothies and then neglecting them yet again! lol Make this bread. It’s super yummy!

My Mom loves banana bread, so she will love this. (I love bananas, but the only banana flavored food I like is banana popsicle, lol.)
Anne says
Banana bread is a favorite in our house, and I love trying new recipes for it. Your version seems pretty easy to make, and it looks scrumptious. I think cinnamon chips are underrated–they give such a nice pop of sweetness and flavor. Thanks for this recipe. I’m putting it on my must-try list.
