What kind of bananas are best for banana bread?

Bananas that are overripe are the best choice for this recipe. This is because they’re much sweeter, easy to mash and blend very quickly into a batter too. 

Can bananas be too bad for banana bread?

Banana bread is a great way to use overripe bananas that you may have, but if the bananas seem to have any signs of mold, you may want to skip using them for the recipe. 

How do you keep banana bread moist?

The simplest way to keep the banana bread moist after it has been baked is to allow it to cool down and then cover it up with cling wrap before storing it. 

Why did my banana bread come out so dry?

Adding too much flour can get your banana bread dry and mealy. The trick is to follow this recipe perfectly to ensure that the bread has just the right proportion of butter and flour. 

What happens if you cut banana bread too early?

Banana bread needs to rest in the pan for a while and then on a cooling rack or a plate. Doing this allows the residual heat to perfectly cook the inside of the bread. If you cut the bread too early, the center might turn out raw and undercooked.
