Buying advice
1) Make standard banana bread batter (very ripe bananas, butter, sugar, egg, flour, baking soda). 2) Fill greased jars two-thirds full. 3) Cook at 176°F for 2 hours. 4) Cool, run a knife around the edge, and unmold. 5) Serve warm with butter.
FAQ
What temperature for banana bread?
176°F (80°C) for 2 hours — moist and fully set.
Can I use a bag instead of jars?
Yes — seal the batter flat and cook; it comes out as a flat loaf slice.
Why is it so moist?
The sealed environment traps steam — the same reason it doesn't dry out.
