Bananas cannot be too ripe for banana bread because the star ingredient in this recipe is the overripe banana.

I used Baking soda for this banana bread recipe because there was no baking powder at my disposal when making this banana bread. But you can use both because they both serve as rising elements in the bread or you can use the baking powder alone by doubling the baking soda measurement because baking soda is said to be more powerful than baking powder.
