Join Carla Music in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen as she makes BA's best banana bread. Here at BA everybody has their favorite banana bread recipe. We made every one—14 to be exact—until we came up with a collective favorite. Dark brown sugar is key and a dollop of mascarpone makes for superior tenderness. Walnuts optional but encouraged.

Check out the recipe here: www.bonappetit.com/recipe/banana-bread

    "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.

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

    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

    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!!
