What If I Don’t Have Ripe Bananas?

Here’s how you can ripen your bananas at home!

  • Simply bake unpeeled bananas on a baking sheet in a 250°F oven until soft, 15-20 minutes. Let cool, peel, and they’re ready to use in your banana bread recipe!

Tips For Making The BEST Banana Bread

  1. Use dark brown sugar for an extra richness in your banana bread.
  2. Consider adding crunchy nuts for texture!
  3. Bananas should be very ripe. 
  4. To store ripe bananas: freeze with or without the peel. Return to room temperature before baking. You’ll find previously frozen bananas are easy to work with and produce extra-moist banana bread.
  5. With a spatula, fold dry and wet ingredients together for a tender crumb.
  6. Walnuts are the nut of choice for banana bread, as their slightly bitter taste complements the sweetness of the bread.
  7. Use a toothpick to test banana bread for doneness in three places: left, center and right side.

    Just a warning…this recipe failed. Smelled divine, but it is nothing like bread. I’m thinking it should be changed to 1 and 3/4 C flour.

    I want a baby again with pudgey hands! How adorable! My baby is 7, but I still think he’s pretty cute.
