Notes

Serve banana bread warm or at room temperature. It pairs well with butter or cream cheese and is great with coffee or tea. Store cooled banana bread wrapped in plastic wrap or foil at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week. Freeze for up to 3 months, slicing before freezing for easier thawing.
