Recipes FAQ

Can I use brown sugar instead of granulated sugar?

Yes, you can substitute brown sugar for the granulated sugar. Keep in mind that brown sugar will make the bread slightly more moist and give it a slightly different flavor.

How ripe should the bananas be?

For the best flavor and texture, the bananas should be ripe and have brown spots on the skin. They should be easy to mash with a fork.

Can I freeze this banana bread?

Yes, you can freeze this banana bread. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and store it in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Recipe Tips

  • Make sure all of your ingredients are at room temperature before you begin.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Mix the ingredients until just combined to avoid a tough or dry bread.
  • If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5-10 minutes.
  • For a nice presentation, sprinkle some brown sugar on top of the batter before baking.
