Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray or line it with parchment paper.

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
