Chef's Tip
- The perfect bananas for banana bread will have a mostly blackened skin and a texture too mushy to be desirable for eating. Less ripe bananas will not be as sweet and might also yield more volume when mashed or pureed. Use the 1 ½ cup guideline to determine the amount of mashed or pureed bananas.
