For extra flavor, add 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or chocolate chips to the batter. Use very ripe bananas for the best flavor and moisture. Store leftover banana bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week. To prevent the top from browning too quickly, tent the baking dish with foil during the last 15 minutes of baking.
