When the bananas are ready for chocolate chip Banana Bread?

The blacker the banana is, the sweeter it is. Best bananas for banana bread aren’t yellow but black or at least nicely spotted and soft. The flavour of a really ripe banana is more concentrated which is perfect for any banana bread recipe out there.

To Ripen Bananas Quickly

If you’re eager to make banana bread but don’t have bananas that are ripe enough, don’t worry. Just preheat the oven to 175°C / 350°, place the bananas unpeeled on a baking sheet and bake for about 12-15 minutes. Let them cool then proceed with the recipe.

Use another type of flour for chocolate chip banana bread

• Whole wheat flour. It will make the banana bread a little more dense but still remain delicious. Use Milk chocolate morsels for better results .
• Gluten-free flour. There are lots of options, but my favourite is King Arthur gluten free blend.
• Other types of flour. Coconut flour, oat, almond, buckwheat.

How To Store It

Honestly, at home it rarely last more than one day, but sometimes I make this banana bread to gift someone, so I always recommends to wrap it tightly with plastic wrap or put it in a zippered bag and keep it at room temperature for 2-3 days.
