Recipe FAQs and Tips
- Bananas: you can use fresh bananas or grab some out of the freezer, let them thaw, and then mash! Checkout our easy tutorial that shows you the best ways to freeze bananas.
- How long can I store it? It can be stored on the counter for up to 4 days.
- Can I freeze banana bread? Yes! After it comes out of the oven let it cool completely and then wrap in 2 layers of plastic wrap or aluminum foil and place in a freezer safe container. It will last in the freezer for up to 4 months. Thaw in fridge or at room temperature.
- Let fully cool: I repeat – let fully cool! Especially with gluten-free baking it is especially important to let them cool and the moisture/steam escape. Once they are cooled they will be light and fluffy on the inside!
