For an enhanced flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a pinch of ground nutmeg to the batter. Ripe pawpaws should be soft to the touch and yield easily to gentle pressure. If your pawpaws are not quite ripe, allow them to ripen at room temperature for a few days. To make the bread even more decadent, try adding a cream cheese frosting once it has cooled.
