Notes
- How do you know when it's is done?
- You want to begin testing your bread about 10 minutes before you think it will be done. Insert a cake tester or toothpick near the center of the loaf; if the tester comes out clean, then the center of the loaf is done.
- Why is my Banana Bread Dry?
- Make sure you use butter instead of oil in your bread! If you use oil it emulsifies and coats the flour which prevents it from absorbing to much water which results in dry banana bread.
- Storage Tips
- Keep your bread wrapped in plastic wrap, tin foil, or store in an airtight container to keep it from drying out. This can also extend the life of your bread. Another quick tip is to store it in the fridge to make it last up to a week.
- To freeze it wrap cooled loaf in plastic and again in foil and then place in the freezer for up to two months!
