Add the flour/s mix until before its combined - there will be lumps of flour still seen, this is ok. 
DO NOT OVER MIX, this causes a tough batter when baked, bad very bad. lumps ok, over work batter bad
    Pour the batter into the prepared loaf tin and place into the middle of the over - this is an additional important step because the oven can be hotter in different areas and can effect the timing of baking. 

** bake time depends on pans used. 1 loaf pan around 1 hour/ bundt pan 35-45 minutes/ 2 loaf pans split the batter 35-1 hour  
2 loaf pan 7.7.23 TEST TIME

Bake the banana bread in the oven for around 1 hour or until a knife can be inserted into the centre of the banana bread and it comes out clean. 
If the bread has not cooked all the way thru and is browning too quickly then reduce the heat of your oven down to 300F for the remaining time. 
To help keep the bread from over browning or burning, you can cover the cake tin with aluminum foil and continue baking until the banana bread is cooked through.

NOTE: feel free to decorate the top of the cake/bread with nuts, sliced bananas, crumble topping or when you remove it you can frost/ice/ simple syrup the cake to add flavors or texture.
