Tips:
- Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your banana bread will be. If your bananas are not ripe enough, you can ripen them quickly by placing them in a paper bag with an apple or a pear for a day or two.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the batter, making your banana bread lighter and more moist.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition: This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
- Fold in the mashed bananas: Be gentle when folding in the mashed bananas so that you don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the banana bread tough.
- Don't overfill the loaf pan: The batter should only fill the pan about 2/3 full. If you overfill the pan, the banana bread will rise too much and may overflow.
- Bake the banana bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: The baking time will vary depending on the size of your loaf pan, but it will typically take around 50-60 minutes.
