Bake at 350F until done.  Check muffins after 25 minutes but could take up to 45 minutes to cook depending on your oven.  You will know muffins are done when a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean and the tops of the muffins are golden brown. Cool the banana bread in the pan for 10 minutes then cool completely on a wire rack. Sprinkle with confectionery sugar and enjoy!
