You've followed every step.
You used ripe bananas.
You didn’t overmix.
So why does your banana bread still come out dry?
If your banana bread keeps missing that moist, fluffy magic—even when you follow the recipe to the letter—you're not alone.
Let us look at the reasons why the things are not going the right way.
1. You're Guessing Your Flour Measurements
Flour is tricky. If you just scoop it directly from the bag, you might be using 30% more flour than the recipe requires.
Due to that small misstep? Your loaf is getting dried every time.
✅ Solution: On the contrary to measuring cups, employ a food scale. A packed "cup" of flour is completely different from 120g of flour, and your banana bread can identify the difference.
2. Your Banana-to-Flour Ratio Is Off
Bananas are to bring the bread moisture, to modulate its sweetness and texture. But the phrase "3 bananas" is really vague. A small underripe banana weighs half as much as a large ripe one.
This implies that your wet-to-dry ratio might be terribly wrong even if you follow the recipe to the letter.
✅ Solution: Before you start mixing, weigh your bananas (peeled). The majority of recipes require the use of around 300g of mashed banana. If not, you will taste it.
3. You're Not Measuring the Fats Precisely
Butter, oil, yogurt—whatever fat you are using—it makes a difference.
If you take a bit off and add only a little fat, your banana bread will dry and crumble.
If you add a lot of fat, it will get dense and oily.
✅ Solution: Drop the Eyeballing (especially if you are one of those people who do it with tablespoons). Make the fat (mostly butter or oil) weigh and be spot-on for the results every time.
