Notes
Don't overbake these! They should look slightly underdone in the center when you take them out. If you overbake the whole batch, they'll be dry instead of soft and chewy.Make sure your bananas are very ripe, the more brown spots, the better! To ripen them faster, put bananas in a brown paper bag and fold the top closed. They'll ripen in 1-2 days!
