Notes
For accuracy, I always weigh my ingredients rather than use cup measurements. This ensures that my bakes turn out exactly the same every time.
Prefer muffins? This recipe bakes 6 large muffins. Reduce baking time to 20-25 minutes.
Best enjoyed while still warm. Once completely cool, store at room temperature wrapped in foil for 2-3 days. I suggest wrapping the bread in foil to retain all of that lovely moisture. Feel free to slice it up and toast it for breakfast with some butter on it.
Frozen Bananas? We often store overripe bananas in the freezer for baking and also juicing. It's a great way to keep them until you're ready to use them. Allow them to soften before using in this recipe.
How ripe should bananas be for the perfect banana bread? This is a personal choice. I love to use them when there are dark spots on them and they feel slightly mushy inside. At this stage of ripeness, they will be sweeter and, in my opinion, perfect to use in banana bread.
