For an even more intense banana flavor, use very ripe bananas with plenty of brown spots. Toast the walnuts lightly before chopping to enhance their nutty flavor. Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the dry ingredients for a warm, spicy note. Store leftover banana bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
