TIPS TO MAKE THE PERFECT MOCHA BANANA BREAD

Use overripe bananas - you'll want to use those brown, spotty bananas for this recipe! They add the perfect natural sweetness and help keep this loaf nice and moist.

Make sure you use fresh baking soda - this ensures your best baking texture and that your loaf will rise and get nice and puffy.

Let cool in pan 15 minutes - before transferring to a wire rack, let your loaf cool slightly. This gives it a chance to firm up and keep its lovely shape!
