- Optional: 1/2 cup chopped nuts or chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan or line with parchment paper.

Notes
- Ensure bananas are ripe for the best flavor and sweetness.
- Do not overmix the batter to keep the bread fluffy.
- Optional add-ins like nuts or chocolate chips enhance texture and flavor.
- Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
