Notes

You can also use this recipe to make Chocolate Chunk Banana Muffins.
Store it properly. Wrap cooled banana bread tightly or store it in an airtight container to keep it moist for several days.
Make it ahead. Banana bread often tastes even better the next day as the flavors have time to meld and develop.
Freeze individual slices. Wrap slices separately and freeze for quick breakfasts or snacks whenever you need them.
