  • Use honey instead of sugar: Honey adds a natural sweetness and moisture to banana bread, and it's a healthier alternative to sugar.
  • Add nuts for extra flavor and texture: Chopped walnuts, pecans, or almonds are all great additions to banana bread.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your banana bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the banana bread at a low temperature: This will help to prevent the bread from drying out.
  • Let the banana bread cool completely before slicing and serving: This will help to keep the bread from crumbling.
