Why is my banana bread always mushy?

[Cora_Bates]

Help me! Every time I bake banana bread, it ends up mushy. I've tried various recipes, even adjusting baking times and temperatures. Could moisture from bananas be causing this? Or maybe I'm not measuring ingredients accurately. Really could use some advice here, as I dream of perfect, fluffy banana bread.

I've had similar issues with banana bread in the past, and I think one possible reason for it being mushy could be using overripe bananas.

Banana bread can turn mushy if the batter is too wet or if there are too many bananas in the recipe. Try reducing the number of bananas or adding a bit more flour to achieve that perfect moist-but-not-mushy texture!
