How to store banana bread
Banana bread can keep for 1-2 days on the countertop, but by keeping it in the fridge it will last for up to 1 week in an airtight container. You can also slice and freeze this healthy, low-carb banana bread for a month or more. Take out a slice when you need it!

What is the most common mistake with banana bread?
There are two common mistakes. One is not waiting until the banana is ripe. The riper the banana, the sweeter it is. Since this bread has no sweetener, the bananas must be very ripe and spotty, almost brown.

The second mistake is baking it too long. If you make it too long, the bread can come out dry. Make sure to check the bread every 5 minutes or so after the 30 minute mark to see if it's done."
