you might try adding applesauce sometimes I add it to regular cake mixes

All of the given recipes sound great. I usually add about 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce or 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (plain) instead of the shortening to cut down the fat, but keep it moist. Basically make sure that the batter is not too thick.

Google: Chocolate Banana bread
There are two recipes, it is the one with sour cream.
Love love love it, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream, some strawberry sauce or Jam and make yourself a banana bread split. Yummy!

Thank you all for the wonderful recipes. I will be baking a lot of banana breads/cakes.

I always use buttermilk in my banana bread. Any of the recipes that call for milk or sour milk will work great with buttermilk. It makes the bread so moist and good.

This really is moist and I have been making it for 40 years. If you don't have Buttermilk, make sour milk instead.

I too use this basic recipe but I throw in 1/2 cup of chopped maraschino cherries, and 1/2 cup of mini chocolate morsels into the batter along with the nuts (sometimes walnuts, sometimes pecans, or both) and everyone I make it for just loves it! Warm out of the oven with cream cheese.......Yum!!

I like to throw in about a 3/4 cup of thawed frozen blueberries into my banana bread, also I like chunky walnuts too.

I don't ever add nuts to my banana bread, but I do add chocolate chips and it is wonderful!!!
