Tips:

  • Using ripe bananas adds natural sweetness to the bread, reducing the amount of added sugar required.
  • Be sure to mash the bananas thoroughly to avoid lumps in the batter.
  • Cinnamon and nutmeg are classic spices for banana bread, but you can also experiment with other spices such as ginger, cloves, or cardamom.
  • Adding chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or dried fruit to the batter adds extra flavor and texture.
  • For a moist and tender loaf, do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a dry, tough bread.
