Preparation Method

Tips and Conclusion

For an extra special touch, consider adding a simple glaze on top of your cooled banana bread. Mix one cup of powdered sugar with two tablespoons of milk and a splash of vanilla extract. Drizzle it over the top for a sweet finish that complements the banana flavor beautifully. This is especially lovely if you’re serving the bread for a brunch or special occasion.

If you have leftovers (which is rare because it’s so delicious), store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. For longer storage, consider wrapping slices in plastic wrap and placing them in the freezer. This way, you can enjoy a slice of banana bread any time the craving strikes. To reheat, simply pop a slice in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds, or toast it in the oven for a few minutes.
