Congratulations, you’ve created a banana-bread hockey puck! But don’t throw it away. You can slice it thin and toast it—the heat will soften it back to life, and it’s amazing with butter. Or crumble it over ice cream for a crunchy topping.
Alternatively, turn it into a bread pudding by soaking it in a custard of milk, eggs, and a little sugar. Overcooked banana bread is not a failure; it’s a new recipe waiting to happen. You’re not a bad baker; you’re an innovator.
