Tips:
- Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your bread will be.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough, dense bread. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Use quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better your bread will be. Use fresh, ripe bananas, real butter, and good-quality flour.
- Measure your ingredients accurately: Baking is a science, so it's important to measure your ingredients accurately. This will ensure that your bread turns out perfectly.
