Banana Bread Recipe?

Question

Ok so i am out to make a banana bread and I have 2 questions.
First, the bananas i have aren't overly riped just yellow with a little brown on them. Someone once told me that for a good banana bread they should be completley brown. Is this true or should it be fine?
Second, the recipe calls for 1 stick of butter but i would rather use oil, what is the equivalent for this amount of butter in terms of cooking oil?? THANKS!

Answer 1

Well the recipes usually say 'over-ripe' because the bananas will have a higher sugar content the blacker they are. I wouldnt worry too much, as long as they arent firm.
I guess if a stick of butter weighs 250g, then you could just weigh the oil to the same amount. My recipe uses butter, so not sure on that one.

Good Luck!!
