Notes

Store: Leftover bread can be kept, covered, at room temperature for up to 4-5 days. Pro-tip: Wrap banana bread in plastic wrap to prevent it from drying.

Freeze: Let the banana bread cool completely. Then wrap plastic wrap and aluminum foil. Freeze for up to 3 months. I recommend cutting the bread into individual slices and then freezing it.

Extra Tips:

If using nuts, toast them in the oven for 10 minutes as the oven is preheating to add an extra layer of flavor.
When mashing the banana, leave them as chunky or as smooth as you prefer.
Baking time will vary slightly depending on your bananas' moisture and sugar content, so I recommend starting to check for doneness around 50 minutes and then every 5 minutes after.
