1 cup all-purpose flour
Preparation:
1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan to prevent sticking.
2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, pancake mix, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. Blend Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat together the melted butter, sugar, eggs, mashed bananas, vanilla extract, and milk until well combined.
4. Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
5. Pour and Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. Cool and Serve: Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Total Time: Approximately 1 hour and 10 minutes.
Serving Ideas:
Classic: Serve warm with a pat of butter and a drizzle of maple syrup.
