How to make banana bread more moist?

There are a couple of factors that can affect the moisture of your banana bread. The riper your bananas are the moister your banana bread will be Use greek yogurt and vegetable oil Don’t overbake!

How long can banana bread be stored?

Banana bread can be stored for up to 5 days, but it also depends on the state of your bananas before you baked them. If your bananas were on the super black when adding them, I wouldn’t recommend keeping the banana bread for very long. This is because the bananas will continue to ripen in the bread. Banana bread is best stored wrapped in cling wrap in your fridge!

How can I ripen my bananas quickly, and can I use unripe bananas?

To ripen your bananas quickly place them in a brown paper bag! When it comes to baking with bananas, the riper the bananas are the better! We want dark brown spotty bananas as they have the most flavour and moisture. If you only have yellow bananas on hand that’s okay too! You can ripen them in the oven before baking. Simply put them in a 150C/300F oven for 30 minutes, then let them cool before mashing.
