For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a handful of chocolate chips or dried cranberries to the batter. The banana bread is best stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week. To easily mash bananas, use a fork or potato masher. Ensure your baking soda is fresh for the best rise. For a richer flavor, use brown sugar instead of granulated sugar. You can substitute the walnuts with pecans or any other nuts you prefer.
