Notes
How to Store: Once the banana bread has completely cooled, place it in a gallon size zipper top bag and store airtight at room temperature.
How to Freeze: This bread freezes beautifully. I personally like to slice it and freeze each individual slice on its own. You can either wrap them up with plastic wrap and put in freezer safe baggies or you can just put them directly into baggies.
