Additional Tips
To make the perfect banana bread with melted butter and brown sugar, here are a few extra tips:
- Use ripe bananas with brown spots – they will be sweeter and easier to mash.
- Make sure the butter is fully melted and cooled before mixing it with the sugar.
- For a richer flavor, use dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar.
- Don't overmix the batter – stir until just combined to avoid a tough bread.
- Cool the bread completely before slicing to avoid a crumbly texture.
