AVOID SUNKEN BREAD
The easiest and best way to avoid sunken bread is to use a cooking thermometer to check the inside of the loaf. Fully cooked bread will register 200°F on a thermometer. My all-time favoritethermometer is the Thermapen. It’s super fast and incredibly durable. Anothergreat cooking thermometer is the ThermoPop which is a more basic version that works just as well.
Can I freeze banana bread?
Absolutely! Banana bread can be frozen after it’s cooled completely. Just wrap it in wax paper and then store it in a plastic baggie or airtight container for up to 3 months. This will prevent some freezer burn and help to get it to last even longer. Just thaw before eating and enjoy!
Can I use green bananas to make banana bread?
No. Green bananas aren’t very sweet and are naturally a little more fibrous and harder to mash. The more yellow banans become the more naturally sweet they are and the softer they become. Bananas are perfect when they’re a deep yellow and starting to become speckled with brown spots on the peel. That’s a great indicator that they’re ready for baking!
