How long does banana bread last? The precise answer to that question depends to a large extent on storage conditions – keep freshly baked banana bread in a dry area. To maximize the shelf life of banana bread, cover with foil or plastic wrap or place in a plastic bag to prevent drying out. Properly stored, freshly baked banana bread will last for about 1 to 2 days at normal room temperature.
How long does banana bread last in the fridge? Freshly baked banana bread will keep well for about 1 week in the fridge when properly stored.
Can you freeze banana bread? Yes, to freeze: wrap banana bread tightly with aluminum foil or plastic freezer wrap, or place in heavy-duty freezer bag.
How long does banana bread last in the freezer? Properly stored, it will maintain best quality for about 2 to 3 months, but will remain safe beyond that time. The freezer time shown is for best quality only – banana bread that has been kept constantly frozen at 0°F will keep safe indefinitely.
How to tell if banana bread is bad or spoiled? The best way is to smell and look at the banana bread: discard any that has an off smell or appearance; if mold appears, discard the banana bread.
(Disclaimer: always use your own best judgment when determining if food has spoiled, regardless of what Still Tasty has to say.)
