Easy banana bread tips
The reason for using overripe bananas is because they are softer and have a better texture when mashed. They also have a slightly sharper taste which stays around after baking. You can add many different additions to your bread like chocolate chips, chopped walnuts, pecan nuts or almonds, etc. This bread is great with a generous spread of butter or with fruit and whipped cream.The recipe is simple enough to get as creative as you want to be.
