Notes
Do not slice the Banana Bread until it has cooled completely otherwise it will crumble and fall apart.
Use room temperature eggs to ensure a smoother batter, even baking, a fluffier and quicker rise.
To prevent over-browning, you can cover the loaf tin with tinfoil halfway through baking. This will help the banana bread cook evenly, avoiding a crispy top and undercooked center.
Do not overmix the batter otherwise it will become tough, gummy, or unpleasantly chewy.
Fridge: Allow the banana bread to cool completely before slicing. To store leftovers, place them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Freezer: Wrap the cooled loaf or individual slices in a freezer safe bag for up to 6 months. To thaw, let it sit at room temperature for a few hours or reheat gently in the oven.
