For extra flavor, try browning the butter before adding it to the batter. This adds a nutty depth that complements the bananas. Feel free to substitute other nuts like pecans or almonds for the walnuts. You can also add chocolate chips or dried fruit. If you don't have applesauce, you can use plain yogurt or sour cream as a substitute. Make sure your bananas are very ripe for the best flavor and sweetness. The more brown spots, the better! 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. You can also freeze slices of banana bread for longer storage.
