SECRETS TO THE BEST BANANA BREAD

1. Ripen bananas the oven method. I learned a trick for ripening bananas for use in baking recipes that takes almost no time at all. Simply bake unpeeled bananas on a baking sheet in a 250°F oven until soft, 15-20 minutes. Let cool, peel, and start baking.

2. Go dark with the sugar

Ripe bananas have a wonderful natural sweetness, but a little extra sugar rounds out the overall flavor of the banana bread. Most recipes use regular granulated sugar, but I loved the richness the dark brown sugar .
