Rhubarb Streusel Banana Bread is a perfect treat for picnics, or really any kind of traveling! It transports great and does not need to be refrigerated. Keep it wrapped up in some wax cloth to keep it moist and long lasting. (I linked to esty since it’s my favorite place to buy vegan wax cloths!)
If you do refrigerate the banana bread, it will last up to a week. It will last for about 3-4 days on your counter (depending on temperate of your house!)
I would personally be impressed if this bread lasts that long- my family has a difficult time not eating the whole thing the day I bake it! The way it makes the entire house smells is pure heaven!
