Banana Bread With Yellow Cake Mix

The only time a mushy banana is acceptable is when it is in bread. Banana bread loves soft bananas. They are perfect. However, if your banana is black, then that is no Bueno.

A black banana is way too ripe for even banana bread and should be put in the trash. Freeze those ripe bananas to use later if you do not have time to make banana bread once they turn brown. This way, you will never waste a banana again.

When preparing to make the banana bread use overly ripe bananas; this gives the bread plenty of banana flavor and helps make the bread moist. A way to keep your banana bread fresh and moist after baking it is by storing it in an airtight container, in foil, or plastic wrap. Banana bread is best when stored at room temperature.
