🍌 THE MAGIC OF 3 BANANAS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Three bananas is the SWEET SPOT for perfect banana bread! 🎯

Too few and your bread turns out dry (sad face :/).

Too many and it gets mushy (also sad face :/).

Three ripe bananas give you:
✅ Natural sweetness
✅ Moist texture
✅ That classic banana flavor everyone loves
✅ Perfect structure that holds together

Those brown, spotty bananas? They are actually PERFECT! 🎨

The browner they are, the sweeter your bread will be! 🍯

🥄 1 teaspoon baking soda
🧂 1/2 teaspoon salt
