Tips for the Best Banana Bread
- Use overripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the better the flavor. Look for bananas with lots of brown spots.
- Add-ins: Customize your banana bread by adding nuts, chocolate chips, or dried fruit to the batter.
- Don't overmix: Mix the batter until just combined to ensure a tender crumb.
