Notes
If you need to accelerate the ripening of bananas, place the bananas in a brown paper bag and close it tightly. For super-quick ripening, place the bananas (unpeeled) on a baking sheet at 250 degrees F for 15-20 minutes.
You can use bananas that are ripe, as opposed to overripe. The flavor will be slightly different, but still very good!
Your method of mashing bananas depends on how chunky you like your banana bread. Use a fork for more chunkiness, use a blender or food processor for less.
Let the banana bread cool in the loaf pan for about 10 minutes or so before removing.
Store the banana bread on the counter in a plastic container, with a piece of plastic wrap over the cut end to keep it from drying out.
Freeze it by wrapping it in wax paper and placing it in a good quality resealable plastic bag made for freezer storage.
