How to Ripen Bananas:

• Bake or cook with them: If you’re in a hurry, you can bake raw bananas in their skins at a low temperature (about 250°F or 120°C) for 15-20 minutes. This will soften and sweeten them.
• Freeze for later: If you want to preserve ripe bananas for later use, you can peel them and freeze them. Simply place peeled bananas in an airtight container or plastic bag and pop them in the freezer. They are great for making smoothies or using them in baking recipes.

How to make Easy Banana Bread?

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 4×8 inch loaf pan. Peel the ripe bananas and mash them in a mixing bowl. Melt the butter and add it to the mashed bananas, mixing well. Stir in the baking soda and salt.

Add the sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract to the banana mixture. Mix until smooth. Gradually add in the flour, stirring just until the ingredients are combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

Pour the batter into the greased loaf pan, spreading it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 60-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Once baked, remove the banana bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing. Slice the cooled banana bread and serve it as desired. It’s delicious on its own or with a smear of butter.

For Decoration create with your banana bread by adding chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or dried fruits to the batter.

Storing

• To keep your banana bread moist and fresh, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or store it in an airtight container.
• You can store it at room temperature for a few days or in the refrigerator for extended shelf life.

Tips for Banana Bread Perfection

1. 1. Use overripe bananas: The key to getting that rich banana flavor is to use overripe bananas. They should have brown spots on their peel, which indicates they are the sweetest.
   2. Mash well: Make sure you mash the banana until it is smooth. This will prevent large pieces of banana from appearing on your bread.
   3. Do not overmix: While mixing the flour, take care not to overmix the batter. Over-mixing can result in tough banana bread.
   4. Customize Your Bread: Get creative by adding chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or a stick of cinnamon to your banana bread for extra flavor.
