Notes

Remember to use ripe bananas for a mildly sweet taste.
If you don’t have access to an oven, cook it on the stove in a pan or in the air fryer.
There are gluten-free and vegan variations of this recipe for dietary concerns.
Mixing the butter and sugar helps with the light and moisture of the bread.
Always use ripe yellow bananas for banana bread. You can also use bananas in black or brown color for sweetness. The darker the banana is, the tastier it will be.
You can use a muffin tin, cupcake molds, or cake tin, and other similar materials as an alternative to a loaf pan.
