Notes:
I've baked this banana bread in both a gas and electric oven. The gas oven usually requires more around the 45 minute baking time, where as the electric oven typically requires closer to the 50 minute mark.
A perfect breakfast, afternoon snack or dessert! I love to have it with my coffee!
May spread butter on a warm slice of the banana bread if desired.
