Notes
Storage
Keep the bread in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days.
You can freeze the slices for up to 3 months. Store them in a freezer-friendly container or bag.
To defrost, place a slice or two into the microwave for a couple minutes!
Tips
Once the banana bread is in the oven, don't open the oven door until it's done or the bread will collapse!
Let the banana bread cool down for at least 30 minutes to avoid extra gumminess.
Use a kitchen scale to ensure your measurements are correct (see the "metric" option in the recipe card).
