We would recommend that you let it cool upon coming out of the oven, then slice the bread into desired size slices.

Afterwards, you can place a small piece of parchment of wax paper between each piece and freeze the loaf. 

The reason we recommended freezing the dairy free banana bread recipe in slices is because it will make it easier to thaw by being less time consuming.

You can remove slices as needed and either place on counter to thaw or place in microwave to thaw more quickly.
