Notes
- The baked bread should be stored in an airtight bag or container, so it doesn't dry out. Be sure to wrap it well. It will keep for four days at room temperature or you can store it in the fridge for a week.
- The baked and completely cooled loaf should be wrapped well in plastic wrap then placed in a freezer safe bag or container. The bread will last up to four months in the freezer. Or you can freeze individual wrapped slices, stored separately or in a large freezer bag, and just remove a slice whenever you are craving banana bread.
- If you prefer you can use oil (such as vegetable, coconut or light olive oil) instead of butter.
- For room temperature ingredients, remove from the fridge 45-60 minutes before using.
