- Pour the mixture into a large mixing bowl.
- Add the all-purpose flour and sugar to the bowl, folding them in with a spoon or whisk until fully incorporated.

- Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
- Slice the remaining three bananas lengthwise and arrange the slices neatly over the top of the batter.
