- In a large bowl, mash the bananas with a fork.

Tips

- Make sure your bananas are ripe. Ripe bananas are sweeter and easier to mash.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can lead to tough and dense bread.
- If you don't have brown sugar, you can use all white sugar instead.
- If you want to add some texture to your banana bread, you can add nuts or chocolate chips.
- If you don't have a loaf pan, you can use a muffin tin instead. Just adjust the baking time accordingly.
