This Banana Bread recipe is super easy to make. Probably one of the easiest that I've shared. If you are new making bread, this might be a good one to start with.

🍌 How to pick the right Bananas

The best bananas for banana bread are when they are overripe, not yellow but black. Or they're at least streaked with black/brown. The darker the better. If you can't find overripe bananas, you can speed up the process by putting the bananas in a paper bag along with an apple and loosely fold down the top. The bananas should ripen in just a day or two using this method.

🍌 How to Freeze Bananas

Did you know you can freeze bananas? There are times when I don't get to use my ripe bananas before they go bad and I hate to waste food. What I like to do is remove the banana peel, mash up the bananas and put them in a freezer-safe plastic bag.

Instead of using a traditional loaf pan I decided to use my disposable mini loaf pans. They are so handy especially when you are giving your baked goods away. You can find them on Amazon.

I find that freezing the bananas ahead of time actually makes the bread sweet even without using any vanilla extract. Might not be for everyone so you should experiment and see what you prefer.
