BEST BANANA BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Butter and flour 9x5-inch metal loaf pan.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt.

• Add the flour mixture and beat on low speed until just incorporated. Do not over mix. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes. Let cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
• Freezer-Friendly Instructions: The bread can be frozen for up to 3 months. After it is completely cooled, wrap it securely in aluminum foil, freezer wrap or place in a freezer bag. Thaw overnight on the countertop before serving.
