How to Make Moist Banana Bread
- Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and flour a 23 x 13 cm (9 x 5 inch) loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper.
- Mash the very ripe bananas in a large bowl until mostly smooth, leaving a few small lumps for added texture.
- Whisk together the melted and cooled unsalted butter, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, eggs, and alcohol-free vanilla extract until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, fine sea salt, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg until mixed.
- Gently mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula, being careful not to overmix.
- Layer half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Dollop half of the dulce de leche over and swirl it in.
- Repeat with the remaining batter and dulce de leche, swirling again.
- Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool the banana bread in the pan for 15 minutes before lifting it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Slice once cool and drizzle any remaining dulce de leche over slices, finishing with a dusting of ground cinnamon.

Notes
For optimal results, use very ripe bananas and avoid overmixing to achieve the desired moisture and fluffiness.
