About the Recipe
Banana Bread
Tip One: Be sure to use the right kind of pan for baking banana bread! You’ll need a 9×5-inch size, and I prefer a light colored metal baking pan like this one. If you use glass or ceramic, please note if may take longer to bake.
Tip Two: Feel free to get creative with flavors, add-ins, and toppings! Chocolate chips are one of my favorites. You could drizzle caramel or dulce de leche on top or even add spices like a chai blend!
Tip Three: Cover and store cooled banana bread at room temperature for 2 days. The flavors will actually intensify as the bread sits!
To freeze, tightly wrap the completely cooled loaf or slices in aluminum foil then place in a ziptop bag. Freeze for up to three months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight or at room temperature.
