Why is my banana bread dense and not fluffy? The denseness in banana bread is usually the result of overmixing the batter. When you mix the batter too much, you develop the gluten in the flour, which leads to a denser, tougher texture. To achieve a lighter, fluffier banana bread, mix the ingredients just until they're incorporated.

RECIPE TIPS AND FAQ’S:

Why does banana bread taste better the second day? Banana bread often tastes better the second day because the flavors have more time to meld together, creating a more pronounced and robust banana flavor. As the bread rests, it also continues to absorb moisture, further enhancing its flavor and texture.
