Classic Banana Bread: A Moist and Delicious Treat

Serving: Enjoy a warm slice of banana bread on its own, or spread a little butter or cream cheese on top for an extra treat. It’s also great with a cup of coffee or tea.
Storage: Store leftover banana bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze it for longer storage; just wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and foil, then freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature before serving.
Variants
Vegan Banana Bread: Use a flax egg (1 tablespoon flaxseed meal + 2.5 tablespoons water), replace the butter with coconut oil, and use a plant-based milk.
Gluten-Free Version: Swap the all-purpose flour for a gluten-free flour blend.
Banana Bread Muffins: Pour the batter into muffin tins instead of a loaf pan. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
