  • Mash the bananas well: Make sure to mash the bananas until they are completely smooth. This will help to ensure that your banana bread is moist and tender.
  • Use a combination of flours: Using a combination of all-purpose flour and whole wheat flour will give your banana bread a more complex flavor and texture.
  • 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 moderate temperature: Baking the banana bread at a moderate temperature (350°F) will help to prevent it from drying out.
  • Let the banana bread cool completely before slicing: Letting the banana bread cool completely will help to prevent it from crumbling.
