Banana Bread...how to keep it crunchy?
 

On the opposite spectrum, I bake a normal Banana quick bread and it
comes out very crunchy on top...just perfect. However, it softens up
and the only way to get it crunchy is to toast it. Is there a way to
keep it cruncy...lilke a sourdough bread gets?

Thx again.

No. It goes soft because the moisture from the crumb wicks into the crust.

Ah, yes, that would make sense. Guess it's the toaster method.
Thanks Vox
