Notes

Make sure your bananas are ripe! If you don't have black peel overripe bananas, place them on a baking sheet and cook at 300 degrees for 15 - 20 minutes. Let the bananas cook completely before mashing.
 
Use the correct type of measuring cups - Always use glass or clear measuring cups for liquid and opaque cups for dry ingredients. 
Measure the flour and sugar accurately. Scoop the flour or sugar into the measuring cup and use a knife to level it off so the sugar or flour sit right at the top of the cup. 
 
Room temperature fridge items. Take eggs and butter out of the fridge so they have time to come to room temperature.
