What is a quick bread?
A quick bread is a type of bread that is leavened with baking powder or baking soda instead of yeast. As the name suggests, it is called “quick” because it can be made quickly and easily without the need for time-consuming processes like kneading or rising.
Quick breads can come in various forms and flavors, including sweet and savory. Some common examples of sweet quick breads include banana bread, zucchini bread, pumpkin bread, and blueberry muffins. Savory quick breads can include cornbread, and herb bread.
Vegan quick breads are typically made by combining dry ingredients such as flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt with wet ingredients such as non-dairy milk, bananas, and oil or vegan butter. The ingredients are mixed together to form a batter, which is then poured into a baking dish and baked in the oven until fully cooked.
Quick breads are a popular baked good because they are easy to make, versatile, and can be customized with a variety of flavors and add-ins.

How to store leftover carrot banana bread:
To store leftover carrot banana bread, you should first let it cool completely to room temperature. Then, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil to help prevent air from getting in and making the bread go stale.
You can store banana bread at room temperature for up to 2-3 days, depending on the humidity level of your kitchen. If you want to keep it fresh for longer, you can store it in the refrigerator for up to a week.
If you’d like to freeze your leftover banana bread, you can wrap it in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and then place it in a freezer-safe container or resealable plastic bag. Banana bread can be frozen for up to 3 months.
When you’re ready to enjoy your leftover banana bread, simply thaw it at room temperature or reheat it in the oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes until warmed through.
