Notes
Ripe Bananas: Use overripe bananas with brown spots for the best natural sweetness and flavor.
Mix Gently: Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined to avoid overmixing, which can make the bread dense.
Customize: Feel free to customize your banana bread with add-ins like chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruit.
