Now bake the banana bread in the preheated oven for 60 to 75 minutes (remember? We preheated the oven in Step 1 of How to Make Banana Bread).
In order to ensure a moist banana bread, it's important to check the banana bread for doneness at around 50-55 minutes. Loaf pans vary in size and oven temperatures vary, too. This affects the cooking time for the banana bread tremendously.
You will know the banana bread is done when a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. The top of the banana bread will also start to crack.
