  5. Lightly spray a 9×5 loaf pan with cooking spray.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
Baking
  1. Bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees F for about 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  2. Remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
  3. Carefully remove the bread from the pan, slice, and enjoy.

Notes

For serving, consider spreading warm bread with butter. It pairs well with coffee or tea. Can add honey or maple syrup for a sweet twist. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
