❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Brown Sugar Banana Bread
1. Why is my banana bread dry?
Dry banana bread usually means you baked it too long or used too much flour. Make sure to measure your flour correctly by spooning it into the measuring cup and leveling it off. Also check your bread a few minutes before the suggested time to avoid overbaking.
2. Can I use light brown sugar instead of dark brown sugar?
Yes you can. Light brown sugar will give a slightly milder flavor but it will still work great in this recipe. Dark brown sugar has more molasses which adds a deeper caramel taste.
