Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your banana bread will be.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough, dense loaf of banana bread. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Add mix-ins: Feel free to add your favorite mix-ins to your banana bread batter, such as chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruit.
  • Bake at the right temperature: Banana bread should be baked at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about an hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let it cool before slicing: Allow the banana bread to cool completely before slicing and serving. This will help prevent the bread from crumbling.
