8. Now put the pan into a pre-heated oven at 350℉ for exact 60 minutes

Tips:

• For best results make sure your rest your batter at least for an hour. In fact, I rested my batter for around 3 hours.
• Please try not to use butter at room temperature. This is an excellent secret tip I would like to give, in-order to keep the bread moist and soft from inside make sure your butter is semi-thawed. So remove the refrigerated butter for approx. 20-30 mins before you begin.
• Adding Blueberries gives your bread an amazing sweet & sour taste. You can substitute Blueberries to Cranberries (dry or fresh), Raspberries, Strawberries, Cherries, dry fruits, etc. Be creative.
• The butter, eggs, extract that I used were not at room temperature, I thawed them for around 20 mins before starting my process.
• Oh yeah, btw I used small or baby bananas for my recipe as they are sweeter compared to regular ones. In fact, I use 1 & ½ dozen of those, freeze them and then thawed them and they tasted absolutely amazing.
