Notes
Use very ripe bananas (spotty) for the sweetest flavor.
Measure flour by spooning it into your cup and leveling it off.
Do not open the oven door during the first 45 minutes of baking.
Let the bread cool completely before slicing to prevent crumbling.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, refrigerate for up to 1 week, or freeze wrapped tightly for up to 3 months.
To reheat, microwave a slice for 15 seconds to restore moisture.
