Baked goods, including banana bread, freeze well for preservation.
One of the best ways to use overripe bananas is to make banana bread. While you're at it, make a double batch and preserve some for later use. The only way to effectively preserve banana bread is by freezing it. When properly wrapped and frozen, baked goods, such as banana bread, retain good quality and texture for at least three months. Just thaw it on the counter top for three hours for delicious, fresh bread. Add this to my Recipe Box.
Instructions
1. Remove baked banana bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 20 minutes. Turn it out onto a cooling rack and cool for four hours.
2. Wrap the banana bread tightly in aluminum foil or plastic wrap, or place it in a freezer bag. Squeeze out excess air and seal the bag. Write the date you prepared the banana bread on the wrapping or bag with a permanent marker.
3. Freeze the bread immediately. The fresher the bread is when you freeze it, the fresher it will be when thawed. Remove the bread from the freezer and allow it to sit on the counter for three hours before serving. Use thawed banana bread within three to four days.
