Top Tips
It's best to use ripe bananas for banana bread for several reasons:
Sweetness: As bananas ripen, their starches convert into sugars, making them much sweeter
Moisture: Ripe bananas are softer and contain more moisture, which helps keep the banana bread moist
Ease of Mashing: Ripe bananas are easier to mash, which helps them blend more smoothly into the batter, ensuring an even texture throughout the bread
Flavour: Overripe bananas have a stronger banana flavour, which intensifies the taste of the banana bread
