Notes

If the top of the banana bread starts to get too dark while baking, place a piece of aluminum foil over the top until it is finished baking.
I do not use a cake tester with this banana bread because it really doesn't let you know if the bread is done baking. I use a knife and check the center. If it comes out clean, it's done baking.
