  Grease and line a 8½ x 4½-inch x 2½-inch deep loaf pan with parchment paper.

  Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Slice the extra banana in half lengthwise, peel and place cut-side-up on the batter. Brush the banana with the maple syrup.

  Once preheated, place the pan in the oven and bake for 1 hour 10 minutes.

  The banana bread is ready when a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. If not, press A Bit More.

  Tip: It may need a little more or a little less extra cooking time, best to keep an eye on it. Don't insert the skewer into any of the cracks as this will give an inaccurate result.

  Stand the banana bread in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

  Slice and serve warm with butter.

  Tip: Bread can be sliced, individually wrapped and frozen for up to 3 months. It’s great toasted and served with butter and maple syrup.
