Bananas: the browner the better!
If you want to make banana bread that’s naturally sweetened without skimping on flavor, then ripe bananas are the way to go. Trust me, it’s worth the wait. I keep a bag of ripe bananas in the freezer at all times – pro tip: peel them first!
Probably not the type of bananas you’ll usually reach for, but they’re an unspoken rule when it comes to making good banana bread. Ripe bananas have an increased flavor- they’re sweeter than usual making them perfect for baking.
And boy do I love baking banana bread. The smell of banana bread is the epitome of comfort food. There’s no contest.

For this recipe I used coconut sugar for extra sweetness, but you can definitely do without it or use monk fruit sweetener or whatever you have onhand. Tastes great with or without!
