Notes
Freezing
Quick-breads are a great candidate for freezing. Once the loaf has completely cooled wrap it in plastic wrap/ cling film twice, tightly. Then wrap it in foil or place it in a freezer-safe bag. To thaw a loaf of frozen banana bread let it sit in the fridge overnight or place on the counter for a few hours.
You can also freeze slices of banana bread by following the same method of wrapping in plastic wrap twice and then storing it in a freezer-safe bag. To thaw slices of banana bread place them on the counter at room temperature for 30-60 minutes depending on the sizes of the slices.
