02 - Stir all ingredients together until well combined. Smooth the batter into the prepared pan.
03 - Bake for 40 minutes. Turn off the oven but do not open the door. Leave the banana bread in the closed oven for an additional 5 minutes.
04 - If the bread is still soft in the center, cover the top with aluminum foil and continue baking until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean.
