- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition: This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
- Mash the bananas with a fork or potato masher until smooth: This will help to distribute the banana flavor evenly throughout the batter.
- Stir in the walnuts and other add-ins: You can add a variety of ingredients to your banana bread, such as chocolate chips, raisins, or nuts.
- Bake the banana bread in a preheated oven: This will help to ensure that the bread bakes evenly.
- Let the banana bread cool completely before slicing and serving: This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.
