The brownish ones are ripe. You will be fine using them.

As long as the bananas are not rotten, slightly overripe bananas are OK for banana bread. In fact, they're probably better, since they are easier to mash and provide a little extra moisture.
If the peels are very dark, or the banana flesh is darker than a light tan, they are probably too ripe to use.
Good luck!

Ripe just means not green. The riper (meaning brown or mushy) the banana, the better the banana bread!

Ripe means browned. You can use any bananas, but the browned ones are softer and have more flavor to them. My aunt and I have been making banana bread for years. I wouldn't use the rotten ones, but as long as they are soft you will be fine.

Ripe bananas ARE the brown ones. In my experience the darker the better since they are sweeter!!!

You are correct,,, the brownish on the outside will make the banana much easier to mash and incorporate into your bread recipe.....

The browner ones are riper and sweeter and better in banana bread.
