Notes

Use ripe bananas for maximum sweetness; you can speed this up by baking them briefly if needed. Wrap the cooled loaf in plastic wrap overnight to enhance moisture and depth of flavor. Serve slices with whipped cream or a dusting of powdered sugar for a fancier presentation. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days; freeze for longer storage. Feel free to experiment with healthier alternatives or add-ins like nuts and chocolate chips!
