It looks good! Here's my recipe for banana bread, it is very moist. A secret to keeping it that way is to let it cool in the pan for maybe 5 minutes then wrap it in foil right away.


Basic recipe

1/2 cup butter
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
2 cups sifted flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups mashed ripe bananas
1/2 cup nuts (optional, did not use in blueberry bread)

I added: blueberries and some lemon zest

glaze:

1 lemon, zested and juiced (room temp!)
powdered sugar

Grease (with butter and flour) a loaf pan, preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Cream butter, sugar and eggs until creamy and fluffy.

Add flour, baking soda and salt mix well. Mixture will be stiff so
add 1-2 teaspoons milk when adding the the banana mixture.

I tossed some blueberries in flour added to the batter with a little
of the zest (1/2 tsp?), folding the blueberries in so as not to break
them

Put mixture into loaf pan and bake 350 degrees for 55-60 minutes or
until toothpick inserted in middle comes out clean.

Let cool completely and then mix powdered sugar, some of the lemon
zest and lemon juice to desired consistency and drizzle over the
bread.
