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. (Check out all of the recipes that made the list.)
Hirsheimer & Hamilton3/10Old-School Garlic Bread
You can cut and butter the bread well in advance, but don’t bake it until guests arrive. (Check out all of the recipes that made the list.)
Alex Lau4/10Cream Scones
This basic recipe is perfect as is, but the upgrades and flavor add-ins are nothing to scoff at, either. (Check out all of the recipes that made the list.)
Alex Lau5/10Zucchini Bread with Oats
For a slightly more virtuous quick bread—more like breakfast, less like dessert—reduce the amount of granulated sugar to one cup. (Check out all of the recipes that made the list.)

Senior editor Julia Kramer’s mother, Jill Weinberg, shared her family’s challah recipe with us—it is truly revelatory. All we can hope is that our faithful version comes close. (For best results, bake weekly for several decades.) This recipe makes two loaves, but it can easily be halved. This is part of BA's Best, a collection of our essential recipes.
