Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 350F/177C convection*. Grease and line a 9”x5” loaf pan with baking spray and parchment paper.

  11. Bake for 60ish minutes, (insert a knife in the center and make sure no raw batter comes out on it). Remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 30-60 minutes.

Notes

*I bake most of my things on convection because my oven is too hot on the bottom but if it's browning too quickly on top, sometimes I turn the convection fan off halfway through baking.
