For extra flavor, try browning the butter before creaming it with the sugar. If your bananas aren't quite ripe enough, you can roast them in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for 15-20 minutes to soften them and intensify their flavor. To prevent the top from browning too quickly, tent the loaf pan with foil during the last 20 minutes of baking. Store the cooled banana bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week. It can also be frozen for longer storage.
