5. 5 pour into a greased loaf pan
6. 6 bake at 350f for 1 1 / 4 hour or until it tests done with a toothpick
7. 7 i find that coarsely mashing bananas is best and make sure they are over ripe for best flavor
8. 8 i also find that doing the majority of the mixing by hand makes for better texture in the end
9. 9 even though the recipe says it makes 1 loaf , i usually use 2 loaf pans or 3 mini loaf pans because it seems to yield a moister bread
