- Stir the wet ingredients together until they're well combined, so that the batter is smooth and creamy.
- Once the wet ingredients are combined, gradually add the dry ingredients to the mixture while stirring.
- The batter should be thick and slightly lumpy, which may seem unusual, but it's the key to ensuring a moist and tender loaf of banana bread.
- With the batter ready, it’s time to bake your banana bread to perfection. Start by preheating your oven to 180°C.
- Pour the banana bread batter into a greased loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula, ensuring it’s level in the pan.
- Now, place the pan in the preheated oven and bake the banana bread for about 50-60 minutes.
- Insert a toothpick in the center of the loaf, and if it comes out clean, it's time to take it out of the oven.
- If not, continue baking for another 5-10 minutes before checking again
- Once done, remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, slice the banana bread into thick pieces and arrange them neatly on a serving platter.
