1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8½ x 4½-inch loaf pan and set aside.

Notes
• Make-Ahead: This bread just gets better as it sits! The flavors come together and the bananas help to keep the bread nice and moist.
• How to store Banana Nut Bread: Always wrap your loaf in plastic wrap or foil to prevent it from drying out. It does not need to be refrigerated. The
bread will stay fresh at room temperature on the counter for 2-3 days, and it will last in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
• To Freeze: Cool the loaf completely, wrap tightly, and freeze for up to 3 months.
