Tips
Preheat oven to 325°F.
Mix wet and dry ingredients just until a few flour spots remain to avoid overmixing.
Do not butter the loaf pan all the way up the sides so the batter can grab on.
Let it sit for 45 minutes in the oven before checking.
Cool in the pan for 15 to 20 minutes, then cool completely out of the pan for an hour or two.
Banana bread can be sliced and frozen; it tastes better once thawed.
