  10. Before making the batter, make sure to preheat the oven to 170°C (340°F). Place the pan into the oven and bake at 170°C (340°F) for about 50 minutes. If the top browns too quickly, cover it with aluminum foil at the final stage to keep it from burning.

Recipe Notes

A tip to making delicious banana bread is to use an aromatic ripe banana.
Walnuts, cinnamon powder or rum can be added to taste.
The sweetness depends on the banana so adjust the amount of sugar to taste.
When storing the bread in the fridge, it is best toasted to enhance the fluffy texture.

When using vegetable oil instead of melted butter, how much vegetable oil would you recommend using? 🙂
