For an even richer flavor, consider using browned butter instead of softened butter. Adding chopped walnuts or pecans to the batter provides a delightful textural contrast. Overripe bananas with dark spots are ideal for banana bread, as they are sweeter and more flavorful. To prevent the top from over-browning, loosely tent the bread with aluminum foil during the last 15-20 minutes of baking. This bread freezes beautifully. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and then foil for up to 2 months.
