Notes

  • Storing Leftovers: Store the buttermilk banana bread in an airtight container at room temperature for a few days. Due to the moisture in banana bread if you live in a warm environment and let it sit at room temperature for a few days it can grow mold. So I would suggest storing it in the refrigerator if you are in a warm environment to extend its life.
  • To freeze: You can also let the bread cool completely then wrap it in plastic wrap tightly, twice, then place in the freezer for up to 3 months. To thaw let it sit at room temperature for a few hours
