- Pour into greased loaf pan.

Notes
Adjust baking time as necessary for size of loaf pan. If using a 12 by 4-inch loaf pan, begin checking bread at 50 minutes. If using an 8 1/2 by 4 1/2-inch loaf pan, begin checking at 55 minutes.
To make muffins, pour batter into cupcake liners in muffin pans and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until toothpick inserted into center comes out clean.
Store banana bread or muffins in airtight container on counter for a few days or freeze by slicing pieces and placing on parchment-lined baking sheet (or placing muffins on baking sheet), freezing until solid, and storing in freezer ziptop bag. Whole, unsliced loaf can be frozen solid by wrapping in plastic wrap.
