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.
