Tips for Making Perfect Banana Bread

• Do not use an electric mixer – mix this recipe by hand and be gentle when folding in the dry ingredients as well as the chocolate and coconut. You want to keep the batter light and airy for the best possible banana bread.
• You want VERY ripe bananas for this recipe. To ripen bananas quickly place them in a brown paper bag and fold the top closed. Add a ripe slice of apple to the bag to encourage further ripening.
• Use a test stick or a toothpick to check when the center of the bread is cooked. Bundt cakes take a long time to cook so don’t be surprised if the top starts to brown early.
• If the top is getting too dark then your pan is too close to the top of the oven and you need to lower your oven racks.
• Make sure you grease the bundt pan liberally and dust it with an even coating of flour to prevent sticking.
• Don’t try to pull the bread out too early or it will break apart. Let it cool on a baking rack for at least 10 minutes before carefully releasing the side with a knife or spatula and then carefully flip the pan over onto a plate and let the bread fall onto the plate.

Best way to Store Banana Bread

Store leftover banana bread sealed tight to keep it moist and tender. At room temperature, this should last for 4-5 days. For longer storage consider placing the bread in the fridge for 7-10 days or freezing the bread tightly wrapped to prevent freezer burn for up to 3 months.

Let the bread cool completely before placing it in an airtight container. To thaw banana bread, place it on the counter for several hours until soft.

Reheating Instructions

If you prefer to serve banana bread warm you can heat slices of bread in a 300°F oven for 5 minutes until warmed through or in the microwave for 10 seconds.
