- Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with the back of a spoon.
- Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the top.
- Bake for 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove the pan from the oven and place it on a wire rack. Let the loaf cool for at least 15 minutes before removing it from the pan.
- Allow the banana bread to cool completely before slicing.
- Slice and serve.
