Cool & Serve: Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and serve. (20 minutes)
For extra flavor, add 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans to the batter.
A touch of cinnamon or nutmeg can enhance the warm spice notes of the bread.
To prevent the top from browning too quickly, tent the loaf with foil during the last 20 minutes of baking.
For a richer flavor, use browned butter instead of regular melted butter.
Overripe bananas with brown spots are ideal for banana bread, as they are sweeter and easier to mash.
Feel free to adjust the amount of sugar according to your preference and the sweetness of your bananas.
