When is banana bread done?

You will know when the banana bread is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 205 degrees or insert a toothpick in the center of the bread and if comes out clean, it’s fully cooked. The banana bread should be golden as well.

Why did my banana bread sink in the middle?

A sunken middle indicates that you may have undercooked the bread or your baking soda and baking powder are expired.
