Growing up homemade banana bread was one of my favorite treats. Since I didn’t have my family’s recipe on hand at the time, I decided to search the internet for one to try. I couldn’t settle on a single recipe, so I combined a few to make it my own. The result was a sweet and tasteful loaf of banana bread.

When bananas become overripe, they tend to be sweeter and more flavorful. This is why overripe bananas are best for baking bread. For this recipe, you’ll want 2-3 medium to large size bananas. Some recipes I came across called for white sugar, while others called for brown sugar. I decided to try brown sugar because I like the subtle taste difference it has. Brown sugar is a good substitute for white sugar in quick breads because it doesn’t tend to get as light and airy.
