Note

Ensure you use a 9x12-inch pan as specified; using a smaller pan will result in a thicker loaf that may require longer baking time.

For added flavor, consider stirring in 1/2 cup of chopped fresh corn kernels or jalapeños before baking.

Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or freeze for longer storage.

Check the oven temperature with an oven thermometer to ensure accurate baking, as this mix is sensitive to heat.
