Trust me, while to some it may seem old fashioned to do it this way, but for some reason following it as written makes a much better banana bread.

Grease and flour your loaf pan - Do not use cooking spray for this recipe.

Bake in 350 degree oven - yes do preheat your oven!
About 45 minutes - may be shorter in today's ovens-

Grandma Stowe live in Warren - at the time - right beside the Fair Grounds, my memories of her include going to the fair as kids and going back to her house and having fresh banana bread! I remember we loaded it up with butter!
