Banana Pecan Loaf image

I slice this bread so thick when I eat it, it's almost embarrassing! This banana bread is rich, super moist and flavorful. It's hard to stop at just one slice.

Time 1h15m

Yield 1 loaf, 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup brown sugar, packed
2 eggs
3 medium bananas, ripened and mashed (for ease, I mash my bananas with a pastry cutter)
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup pecans, chopped

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in mashed bananas.
  • Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; add to creamed mixture. Fold in pecans.
  • Transfer batter to a greased 9-in. x 5-in. loaf pan. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center of the loaf comes out clean.
  • Cool for 10 minutes before removing loaf from pan to a wire rack.
  • For an equally delicious spread: combine 1 pkg. (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened, and 1 cup canned crushed pineapple, well drained. It's delicious as a spread for your banana bread.
