Notes
To Ripen Bananas: Bake in a 350°F oven for 15 mins then allow to cool.
Be sure to measure the flour correctly by spooning it into a measuring cup, not scooping it with the measuring cup.

Do not overbake. Ovens can vary, be sure to check your bread at least 10 minutes early. Remove from the pan to cool completely.
