Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your banana bread will be.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your banana bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Let the batter rest for a few minutes before baking: This will allow the gluten in the flour to relax, which will also help to prevent your banana bread from being tough.
  • Bake the banana bread at a moderate temperature: A moderate temperature will help to prevent the banana bread from overcooking and drying out.
  • Check the banana bread for doneness with a toothpick: Insert a toothpick into the center of the banana bread. If it comes out clean, the banana bread is done.
  • Let the banana bread cool completely before slicing and serving: This will help the banana bread to hold its shape.
