8.5×4.5 Loaf Pan to 9×5 Loaf Pan: Multiply Recipe by 1.33×
Multiply every recipe ingredient by 1.33× when converting 8.5×4.5-inch Standard Loaf Pan to 9×5-inch Large Loaf Pan (6 cups vs. 8 cups capacity). Keep original recipe oven temperature unchanged. Start checking doneness 3–5 minutes before original minimum bake time.
Pan note (1.33×): Multiply all recipe ingredients by 1.33× (capacity ratio). 33% larger capacity than an 8.5×4.5 loaf pan; unscaled banana bread will bake flatter and 5–10 min faster.
Supports fractions (2 1/2 cups, ¾ cup), metric weights (200g), US butter sticks, and packing notes (packed, sifted, scooped).
