5. Don't go stir crazy

Add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture. Gently stir until all ingredients are mixed together and moist. Do not stir any more than you have to, though. The bread batter will get chewy if you stir it too much because mixing flour with liquids activates the gluten proteins that give the bread its structure. The more you mix, the more structure you get, which can make the bread too dense.
