Notes


  • Wrap tightly cling film or place in an airtight container. Store at room temperature for up to 5 days. You can freeze this banana bread, too, and it will last up to 3 months in the freezer.

  • You can make this recipe gluten-free by adding tapioca flour instead of plain flour.

  • I love to add walnuts and other nuts into my banana bread. Pecans are my favourite for this recipe, but feel free to add any mix-ins that you like.
