How to Know If Banana Bread Is Spoiled

Mold: The most obvious sign of spoilage is the presence of mold. Mold can appear as fuzzy or discolored spots on the bread. If you see any mold, it's best to discard the bread.

Smell: If you open the container of banana bread and it smells sour, off, or rancid, it's likely gone bad.

Taste: If the banana bread tastes sour, bitter, or has an unpleasant flavor, it's best not to eat it.

Texture: Spoiled banana bread may become dry, crumbly, or mushy.

Discoloration: If the bread has developed dark or discolored spots, it could be a sign of spoilage.

Other changes: Watch out for any other signs of spoilage, such as the bread becoming sticky or slimy.

If you're unsure whether the banana bread is still good or not, it's always better to err on the side of caution and discard it. Remember to store banana bread properly in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator to help extend its shelf life.
