Pro Tips for Making the Recipe

Here are some of my favorite tips to ensure your banana bread turns out perfectly every time:

• Use very ripe bananas for the best flavor and sweetness. The more speckles, the better!
• If you want to experiment, try substituting some of the brown rice flour with gluten free banana bread coconut flour for a unique twist.
• For a nutty flavor, consider adding chopped walnuts or pecans to the batter.
• Don’t skip the cooling step! Letting the bread cool completely helps it set and makes slicing easier.

How to Serve

This super moist banana bread is delicious on its own, but here are some serving suggestions to elevate your experience:

• Spread a little almond butter or peanut butter on a slice for added protein.
• Top with a drizzle of honey or maple syrup for extra sweetness.
• Pair it with a cup of coffee or tea for a cozy afternoon treat.
• Serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful dessert!

Make Ahead and Storage

This banana bread is perfect for making ahead of time! Here are some storage tips:

• Store the cooled banana bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
• For longer storage, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 3 months. Just thaw it overnight in the fridge before serving.
• Slice the bread before freezing for easy grab-and-go snacks!
