Notes

  • For best results, use very ripe bananas with brown spots.
  • Add chopped nuts, seeds, or chocolate chips for extra flavor and texture.
  • Store leftover banana bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
  • If the top of the bread starts to brown too quickly, cover it loosely with foil during the last 15-20 minutes of baking.
