Tips:
- Choose ripe bananas. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your loaf will be.
- Use a combination of all-purpose flour and wheat bran. This will give your loaf a hearty texture and plenty of fiber.
- Add chopped nuts or dried fruit to the batter for extra flavor and texture. Pecans, walnuts, raisins, and cranberries are all great options.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make your loaf tough.
- Bake the loaf until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This usually takes about 50-60 minutes.
- Let the loaf cool completely before slicing and serving. This will help it hold its shape.
