Notes

  • For extra moisture, use very ripe bananas with brown spots.
  • Add ½ cup chocolate chips or chopped walnuts for variation.
  • Don’t overmix the batter after adding flour — it keeps the bread tender.
  • Bread is done when a toothpick comes out clean with only a few crumbs.
  • Store at room temperature for 2–3 days, or wrap and refrigerate up to 1 week.
  • Freezes well for up to 3 months — wrap slices individually for easy thawing.
