Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly. I bake it in the preheated oven for about 60–70 minutes. I always check for doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center — it should come out clean or with just a few moist crumbs. The smell of warm bananas and butter filling my kitchen is one of my favorite parts of baking this bread!
Storage & Make-Ahead Tips
For longer storage, I slice the bread and wrap each piece in plastic wrap, then place them in a freezer-safe bag. It freezes beautifully for up to 2 months. When I want a slice, I simply thaw it at room temperature or warm it slightly in the microwave.
