In fact, the more ripe the better!

You’re looking for banana peels that are really dark brown/black. The peels should be very thin as well.

When the bananas are super ripe, they are more sweet, giving your banana bread a delicious flavor.

How To Store Banana Bread
Banana bread can easily be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge for up to 7 days, or wrapped tightly and frozen for up to 3 months.

After frozen banana bread has been defrosted it might not be as moist as it was when it originally baked, but it should still be tasty.
