🍌 What Makes “Banana Banana Bread” So Special?

The secret is simple: double the banana flavor. Instead of one or two bananas, this recipe uses extra ripe bananas for deeper sweetness and richer texture. The result is a loaf that’s moist, flavorful, and incredibly soft without being heavy.

At Good Food and More, we recommend using bananas that are heavily speckled or turning dark brown—they’re naturally sweeter and mash more smoothly into the batter.

Ingredients

• 2–3 large overripe bananas (mashed)
  
  

• 1/3 cup melted butter
  
  

• 1/2 cup white sugar
