How to tell if your banana bread is done?

Question

ok i made banana bread.. and i was just wondering, i'm not sure if it's totally done it the middle, but i didn't want to leave it in or else the crust would burn. i used eggs , so how can i tell if the raw egg is gone? (thatt's what i'm worried about) thanks! (so basically- what temperature does the bread have to be at so it's not raw)

Answer 1

the old tooth pick trick it works every time!

Answer 2

Use the toothpick test! Stick a tooth pick in about 2" away from the edge, pull it out. If it comes out clean- the bread is done. If you don't have toothpicks- use a dry spaghetti noodle.  

Answer 3

stick a toothpick or something simular in. when you pull it out it should be clean. if there is batter on it, its not done. (a few crumbs are ok)

Answer 4

Around 375 F on high until it is top brown on top. Then stick a butter knife down in the middle till it reaches the bottom and pull it out to check for batter on it. If the knife is hot and a little moist it's perfectly done.

Hope this helps you!

Answer 5

Stick a fork or toothpick in the center, if it comes out clean, its done.  

Answer 6

Same as for a cake...use a toothpick.  If your worried about the top getting too brown, cover it with foil.  The bread doesn't have to be at a certain internal temp. to be done, it just can't be "runny" or "gooey" in the middle.  Just stick with the toothpick test.  Good luck!

Answer 7

They are sometimes underdone in the top part -- and it's normal for them to be cracked in the middle, too. As long as it's not goo, it will be safe. Lower the oven a bit or the bottom will get too crusty.
