Notes
Storing Banana Bread:
Seal tightly in plastic wrap or a Ziploc bag and store at room temperature for up to 4 days or in the refrigerator for up to 10 days. You can freeze this bread for up to 3 months if stored in a Ziploc bag. You can also pre-slice it and then freeze it. To thaw it, place it in the fridge overnight and warm it the next day before eating.Substitutions:
Butter: Instead of butter, coconut oil can be substituted in this recipe with a 1:1 ratio. Use the coconut oil in its solid state rather than melted when creaming with the sugar. Sugar: You can substitute the sugar with honey or maple syrup, both will work with good results. However, with liquid sweeteners, you will need to reduce the amount to ½ cup rather than 1 cup.
