Can I use butter instead of oil in banana bread?

I experimented with using melted butter vs. oil in banana bread and found an even mixture of both led to the best results. You get the rich flavor from the butter, but the sensation of moistness from the vegetable oil. Oil is a liquid at room temperature, so it feels moist on the palate even though it has no water.

How do you fix too many bananas in banana bread?

After you have filled the measuring cup, pass a knife over the top to remove any excess. Bake with only the amount of banana called for in the recipe. If the recipe calls for 1 1/2 cups of mashed banana, using more could make the bread too wet.
