Tips
- Use ripe bananas for the best flavor and texture. The bananas should have brown spots on the skin and be soft to the touch.
- Make sure to mix the wet and dry ingredients until just combined to avoid overmixing the batter, which can result in a dense and tough bread.
- Add your favorite mix-ins, such as chocolate chips or chopped nuts, to the batter for an extra special touch.
- If the top of the bread is browning too quickly, cover it loosely with aluminum foil to prevent burning.
