Hello. My wife and I have to beg a personal difference with the state of ripeness of the bananas usually used in making banana bread. We found by experimenting, that using bright yellow, no brown spots or blackness showing at all bananas makes a very delicate flavored banana bread that my wife and I have received many raves on. We personally are not attracted by the heavy flavored banana bread that is obtained from using ripe/very ripe bananas. Try it... you just might like it. Roger
