- Pour the batter into the prepared pan, tap the pan gently on the counter to even out the batter then place it in the oven.
- Bake for 50-60min, Or until a knife comes out clean.
- Enjoy warm topped with lots of butter, or it can be cooled and stored on the counter for 3-5 days.
Notes
Banana bread is one of the most forgiving recipes in the world, it is almost impossible to mess up. However, be a bit tricky when it comes to cooking time, if the top is getting too dark but the center still isn't done, simply place a piece of foil over the top and continue baking until it is done.
Feel free to add nuts, chocolate chips, or both to your loaf of bread.
Banana bread also freezes well, simply wrap tightly in plastic wrap and store in the freezer for up to 6 months. You can pull it out of the freezer thew on the counter overnight, or place wrapped in a foil in a 250-degree oven and back for 15 to 20min or until it is warmed through.
