BANANA BREAD
Usually this bread has a reputation of being so dry that your mouth is begging for some milk. Not this version.
This has a few secret ingredients that make the bread so moist. Check it out. This is a family favorite and every time I make it, people beg for the recipe.
You can make this with all mashed bananas but the secret to really moist bread is to replace one cup of the bananas with some crushed pineapple and applesauce. Trust me!
Just like with other breads, this is even better the next day. The banana flavor soaks in and it gets even more moist.
I am not trying to set a record for saying moist the most amount of times and people who are freaked out by that word – I’m sorry!
In my opinion, the chocolate chips are not optional but you are welcome to leave them off if you want.
RIPE BANANAS
How do you know if a banana is ripe? A ripe banana is yellow with brown spots an is soft. The darker it gets the sweeter!
