Notes

Banana bread can be served warm or at room temperature. Slice it up and enjoy it plain, or spread a little butter or cream cheese on top for added flavor. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil to keep it fresh. Store at room temperature for about 2-3 days, or refrigerate for longer storage.
