Notes
- You need ripe bananas for this recipe, they should be really brown and spotty. The riper the better because they will be easier to mash and they are sweeter.
- Make sure you properly measure your flour. Spoon it into the cup and then level it.
- To make this maple banana bread gluten-free, just swap in any gluten-free flour. Make sure it is 1:1 flour.
- Line the pan with parchment paper so it's easier to remove the bread when it is finished cooling.
- If you want to add texture, add in a ½ cup of chopped walnuts or pecans.
- Stick a toothpick in the bread to check if it is finished baking and if it comes out clean it is ready.
- Allow to cool for about 20 minutes in the pan, then allow to finish cooling completely on a cooling rack.
