  • Bake for 60-65 minutes or until a knife or chopstick inserted in the center comes out clean. If the top of the bread is golden brown before the middle is completely baked through, tint the loaf pan with foil and continue to bake until the bread is cooked all the way through.
  • Let the banana bread cool in the pan completely.

How to Store Banana Bread

Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to five days.

To freeze, let the loaf cool completely and then wrap it in a layer of plastic wrap before then wrapping it in a layer of foil or placing in a freezer-safe plastic bag in the freezer for up to three months. Let defrost at room temperature for several hours.
