"Moist is a word, that a lot of people have a problem with. But it is a word that is important with banana bread." No truer words have been said.

Carla seems like that Aunt that lets you drink a beer when you visit and won't tell your mom, but won't let you have more than 1.

i feel like everyone is making either sourdough or banana bread during this quarantine LMAO

Every single Carla recipe has "trust" as an ingredient

Carla's influence has somehow brought me to a point where I've just put 2 batches of banana bread into the oven at 1 in the morning

"Actually Set a timer, because people don't think that 4 mins is real" I felt that Carla... to the core.

*listening with high volume headphones* Carla: all those little sparkles and the little crunchles *crew guy in the back who didn't wanna be heard but found the word crunchles way too funny not to be repeated*: crunchles

I always add my flour on *10.* Makes me feel a l i v e.

"Lightly coating my arm, lightly coating the floor." There are many reasons I relate to Carla the hardest. This is on that list.

i made this recipe and it came out soooo perfectly I almost cried.

the tea about who doesn’t like bananas in the test kitchen is so funny

1:43 "...lightly coating my arm, lightly coating the floor." I don't know why, but this was the funniest thing.

Gabby is so adorable. Must be such a joy working with her positive attitude.

Carla! I just made this! I didnt have a stand mixer(used a hand mixer, my hand hurt but it got the job done), and I also used tiny loaf pans and knocked out four mini loafs of banana bread! It turned out absolutely perfect! The last time I made banana bread was freshman year in culinary. This was somuch better!! I love yall at bon appetit!!

I tried this recipe and I'm so proud to say that I nailed it on my first try. I added about 3 tbsp.s of cinnamon and pecans

Chris Morocco: Bananas: Imma end this man's whole career

banana bread is genuinely the best type of bread ever !

I top pumpkin or banana bread with a mixture of cinnamon and sugar, and it always creates a beautiful top

here's the ingredients 1½ cups all-purpose flour 1¼ teaspoons baking soda ¾ teaspoon kosher salt 1 cup (packed) dark brown sugar ⅓ cup mascarpone, plain whole-milk Greek yogurt, or sour cream ¼ cup (½ stick) unsalted butter, room temperature 2 large eggs 4 large very ripe bananas, mashed (about 1½ cups) ½ cup chopped bittersweet or semisweet chocolate (optional) ½ cup chopped walnuts (optional)

I'm here for this curly bang content

I love banana bread. I would just want banana bread as my wedding cake. No need for frosting or decorations. Just banana bread.

I am commenting again on this recipe and I tried this recipe and loved it so much and have to bake some more of it. I thank you so much, Carla for sharing this recipe with us all. May this week be fantastic for you all there in the test kitchen. I do love the banana bread cooked with black walnuts or pecans in it as it gives it that special taste which I love so much. Be safe during the COVID-19 virus scare and may God Bless you all and your families.

I. love. Carla. she exudes such a calm, mom energy. the egg/sugar/butter mixture was totally split and she was like eh. it happens. it'll fix itself.

I always put cinnamon sugar on the top of my banana bread when it bakes, honestly delightful

Carla: so you don't make the BA's best banana bread Gaby: no, but I wanna start making it Carla: *aggressively* yeah you are

I have made this and I fell in love. The top brown sugar sprinkle is amazing, prolly my favourite part amd it is so SOFT AND MOIST. WOW.

this recipe made 15 muffins, cooked for 25 mins. subbed cream cheese mixed with milk instead of mascarpone lol. still really, really good!

At 10:25 after the explosion sound you can hear a "Like an explosion or something" in the back lol

10:46 From here on out, I will be describing my own "cracks" (a.k.a. my stretch marks) as part of my "natural leavening"

This recipe was perfect! Moist, sweet, and fluffy. All the tips and notes really made a difference! Thanks Carla and BA 🥰👏🏿

I've been making this recipe from the Best of Bon Appetit cookbook for over a decade. It's the absolute best ever! Always delicious.

What if, for your next video, you did corn on the cob (and hear me out here) but instead of the corn bone...it's a hot dog?

I would do cinnamon and brown sugar in the top, it turn out super yummy. The cinnamon compliments the banana..

I made this last month, like right when Quarantine started, and it turned out beautifully. I loved adding the sugar in the raw on top. It gives it such a sweet crunchy texture on top.

Carla: "The time has come..." Me: "To lip sync for my life?" Carla: "To banana-hammock this banana bread." Me: "Oh."

Carla: Banana hammock Me: *pauses the video and googles it* ... ... Oh.

Carla: we are in test kitchen, we have everything Me: everything except the things that claire needed during gourmet video 😂😂😂

I'm eating banana bread, toasted with butter, while watching this. Mine has everything this one does, plus hazlenuts and chocolate bits. THE BEST.

I just made this recipe, actually I made a triple batch and cooked all three at the same time. It was absolutely delicious. I used plain organic yogurt. I did add a teaspoon of vanilla to this recipe though, so it was a tablespoon for the triple batch. I also used a little more than 1-1/2 cup bananas it calls for because I had huge bananas so I measured them and it was closer to 5-1/4 cups for the triple batch (1-3/4 cups each). I coated the top with the turbinado sugar similar to the "Sugar In The Raw" Carla used and it made an awesome semi-crunchy texture to the top. I used some Ghirardelli semi-sweet chips in one of them because it sounded so good and it did not disappoint either. Everyone including myself who has tried this banana bread has said it is the very best they have ever tasted. I'll be making more at Christmas time. So easy and so good. Mine took about 1 hour 20 minutes to cook and it was Moist (capital M intentional).

Carla has to be my favorite when it comes to explaining textures and technique. It's super elaborate.

Carla speaking properly with very amazing descriptive words literally warms my heart and always keeps me coming to watch a video! Love you❤️

Made this about 2 months ago. Only had light brown sugar and used sour cream and it was wonderful! Making it again today. This time I have dark brown sugar, still using sour cream and this time on top instead of white sugar I sprinkled some Ceylon cinnamon with brown sugar on top before baking however I don't see how it could be any better than the first time I made it. Thank you for a wonderful recipe!

Made this recipe as a dessert for a dinner party last weekend. What a triumph. This was the best banana bread I've ever made!! Thanks BA! xxxx

The way she sat the parchment back in the tin was so satisfying at 11:25

"sometimes i add a little flaky salt if i'm feeling VERY sassy" so--always?

It's been a while since I've made it, but if I recall correctly this is VERY similar to the recipe we used at my house growing up. Warm banana bread with melted butter...perfect! I never met anyone else who liked it like this. I'm not alone! This and my great-grandmother's apple cake are my fav loafs.

Tried nd lovvved the result... thank you for restoring my faith in baking....

Day 1 of me requesting to put Gaby on the Bon Appétit channel banner

Carla, Thank you for this video. I love the humor you have while explaining this recipe. I also love that little shake you did when explaining the rise and fall of the bread. I'll have to ask Mrs. General if she could do that little shake also, as it would make baking in the kitchen together very interesting and fun. I watch all BA's videos on KZfaq & the LG tv channels. Thanks again.

This really IS the best banana bread ever, freezes beautifully and that little crunch of sugar on top, especially when you reheat it, is wonderful! I’ve been buying ripe bananas, anticipating the next batch (2 loaves at a time is just as easy), which I’m making NOW! Yum!

Even tho Carla is beautiful she has this loving, motherly vibe to her. It’s soo warm and comforting.

I don't like bananas on their own, but banana milkshakes, bread, pudding - i love all of that dude

Best ever!!! So delicious moist but not pasty at the bottom, not too sweet but sweet crust on top...genius!!!

I made it last night. Excellent outcome, everyone loved it. I followed exactly what Carla instructed including the 4 minutes mixing.

6:57 "Wow she looks broken!" big mood

Turning it into French toast is my favorite, especially topped with some caramelized banana slices and maple whipped cream

Made these over a dozen times, even before covid. I’ve been making them as banana bread bites (like with the mini cupcake pans) with mini chocolate chips and walnuts, and out of the oven in 12 mins! Delish!

WOW! This Banana bread was the best banana bread recipe I've ever tried. The moistness blew me away. Even my 16 year old daughter was impressed enough to notice the moistness. YUM! I love these BA you tube videos

Carla: "People have very strong anti-banana opinions." Gaby: "I don't like those people." Me: "But I thought we could still be friends?!"

damn. i never had butter nor cream cheese with banana bread. i never thought it was a thing! also gaby is so precious as always oh my god☺️

Watching this makes me feel like I never actually mixed butter and sugar

i made this cake and it was a WIN my whole family and friends went insane about it

10:44 A very, very quiet "crunchles?" from behind the camera.

this is actually so perfect because my mum asked me to make banana bread today. Thank you Carla!

Carla is my favorite Bon Appetiter. She always seems so happy, positive, hilarious, and supportive. We need more people like her in the world.

I finally got a chance to make this and it was so good! I made sure to read the recipe on their site and watch the video as she did it. I even did the mise en place, it was the best. Literally.

Mother of gods! If this is what banana bread is... I have never had banana bread before. Holy moly this turned out so perfect. I halved the amount of sugar because I can't handle sweet, and hoooooooboy did it ever turn out fantastic. 12/10 best banana bread recipe ever, hands down.

Great ,Carla made this to your exact method and ingredients ,before today I always added a pinch of cinnamon,and 1/4 tea of van extract, this recepie is so much better and not as sweet with just the brown sugar,nice addition to the top! Thankyou,great episode,your one of my faves!

Yesss!! I grew up with The Fanny Farmer cookbook and putting cream cheese on banana bread too!! I usually add vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves to my bread though - it really takes it up a notch! 😍

I made this today and it's DELICIOUS. Probably could have done with five more minutes in the oven, but still very good. I included walnuts and choc chips and it worked very well.

I made this yesterday. My grandma loves is so much, moist and not too sweet . Thank you

Beautiful browning captioned over gaby is so right love her

I was JUST gonna make banana bread, and I have all of these ingredients in my fridge. Bless.

I've baked this, and it's so delicious. I'm never baking any other banana bread recipe ever again

Just made this. Holy amazing!!! Thank you Auntie Carla!

I just made this yesterday, this is a great recipe! Came out perfect, soft, and moist.

I see Carla and I click. I’m a simple woman. Love your bangs

Curly! Bang! Banana! Bread! Content! 🙌🏼

Omg i finally found the recipe for banana cake or bread. I been baking a ton of it using different recipes n wasn't happy with it. Finally i baked using this recipe yesterday n it turned out like a gold bar. Everyone loved it. It be up on my menu soon with a little modifications. But super yumms. Tq so much

I just love the ease with which Carla cooks.. Like it's comfortable, not at all stressful, like she enjoys it. Disclaimer: I deal with horrible anxiety before I cook 😓

Carla, Banana Bread and Fridays go together really well.

I made this yesterday and now it's GONE. My family loved it so much, we ate it all in a day. Thanks BA!

I've made this for new year's eve. And it's so delicious and perfectly moist. This is by-far the best banana bread! :)

I had to watch the 10:45 minute mark like, five times to be sure that I actually heard someone whisper "crunchles", and that I wasn't just going insane 😅

i fully died when gaby said "we're bananas for bananas" I LOVE HER

Baked exactly as instructed and it turned out amazing!

I never thought 4 minutes was real before this video. Thank you Carla.

"Wow, she looks BROKEN." Me: Same

Gaby makes me feel so happy! She’s just so sweet and lovely ☺️

Best banana bread recipe ever! The bread comes out super fluffy and delicious!

I baked a lot of banana bread when my kids were in elementary school, middle & highschool! Pleasant Memories of a warm kitchen!📻💿🖨️🕯️📺📷📆🛋️🍌🍞

I loved the gossip part at the end!! I never knew that even in test kitchens there could be gossip 😂😭

BA editing brings this video to life! I love it!

I’ve made this 3 times since the start of quarantine (lol) and every time it comes out perfect!! It’s best to serve this the day after baking, idk the science behind this but the flavors are amplified but completely complements each other

Made this one yesterday and it's soo good, my family loved it too👌
