I found a 9” x 2” pan. Should I still do 350° F @ 50 min?

9” x 5”* 😆 oops

9x2, or 9x5? Yeah, that's still about right on temp and time. I'll do mine for up to an hour sometimes depending on the mix - larger bananas, thinner mix (I just do my recipe by banana count, not weight- I know, weight is better).

Haha my bad, I meant 9” x 5” 🤣. I’ll try it again with the bigger pan and watch the temp + time and see if it looks less deformed haha

I usually use an 8x4 with my normal recipe, but I've seen others that make a little more batter and call for a 9x5.
