Frequently Asked Questions

How to Mash Bananas

Peel your bananas and transfer them to a mixing bowl. Grab a fork and start breaking them to pieces until mashed. Use an electric mixer if you have one to save some time.

Can bananas be too ripe for banana bread

Not at all. In fact, you can use overripe bananas. The darker the bananas are, the better: there’s no such thing as a too-ripe banana when you’re making banana bread. You can also freeze your overripe bananas to store and use later to make banana bread.

Is baking soda or baking powder better for banana bread?

Baking soda works best in conjunction with an acidic ingredient. In the case of banana bread, this may be buttermilk, brown sugar, molasses, or the bananas themselves. Recipes generally include just enough baking soda to balance the acidity in the batter.

How do you keep banana bread fresh?

Fresh and newly baked banana bread are one of the little joys in life. To keep banana bread fresh longer, wrap it tightly and thoroughly in a plastic wrapper, but instead of leaving it on the counter, place it in the refrigerator. The bread should keep for about a week or a little more if wrapped well.

How to freeze banana bread

Cool your baked banana bread completely on the countertop. Slice your loaf to make it easier to grab and thaw them. Use wrapping plastic or aluminum foil and wrap it tightly. This will prevent freezer burn. Then transfer it to an air-tight container or freezer-friendly storage bag. Date the bag and freeze for up to 3-4 months. Thaw wrapped or unwrapped in the refrigerator or at room temperature.
