FAQ
I love mashing bananas this way. (I'm lazy...this is the easiest way for me). Just put your bananas in a mixer and mix for 1-2 minutes until the bananas are mashed.
The bananas should be very ripe, with lots of brown spots on the peel. This ensures maximum sweetness and a moist texture.
Avoid overmixing the batter. Stir just until the ingredients are combined to keep the bread light and fluffy.
Sweetened condensed milk is crucial for sweetness and moisture in this recipe. If you must substitute, try using an equal amount of evaporated milk plus ½ cup sugar, but the texture may differ slightly.
