My batter is always thick and the nuts never settle. I thought maybe
I was under-baking (even though the toothpicks were clean and it
pulled away from the sides of the pan), so I used my instant read
thermometer last time and pulled it out at 200°. I thought I'd nailed
it, but noticed there was still a thin layer of "banana" (for lack of
a better term) at the bottom. It wasn't as deep as usual, but it was
still there. I've decided that banana bread is a nice thing to be
gifted with from now on.
