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. Ingredients:
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 |
Directions:
1. 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.
2. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; add to creamed mixture. Fold in pecans.
3. 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.
4. Cool for 10 minutes before removing loaf from pan to a wire rack.
5. 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.
