FAQ:
1. Can I use frozen bananas?
Yes! Frozen bananas work great for banana bread. Just thaw them before mashing. The extra moisture from frozen bananas can make the bread even more moist!
2. Why is my banana bread dense?
Banana bread can become dense if you overmix the batter or use overly ripe bananas. Mix the batter just enough to combine the ingredients, and be sure to use ripe but not overly mushy bananas.
3. How can I make the banana bread sweeter?
If you prefer a sweeter loaf, you can increase the sugar to 1 1/4 cups or add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup after baking.
4. Can I add more bananas?
Yes! You can increase the number of bananas to 4 or 5 for an extra banana flavor, but you may need to adjust the flour and baking soda to maintain the right texture.
This Banana Bread is everything you want in a sweet, comforting treat—moist, flavorful, and simply irresistible. Perfect for breakfast, snacks, or dessert, it’s a recipe you’ll make again and again!
