ROASTED PECAN BANANA BREAD LOAVES



Roasted Pecan Banana Bread Loaves image

My father loves bananas and pecans, so for his birthday this year I whipped up a special treat for him: two of his favorites, wrapped into one, and made into individual loaves so he could easily freeze the extras and have his birthday banana bread whenever he wanted. (Coconut extract helps to bring out the fresh banana flavor - trust!) The flavor is better a day later.

Time 1h35m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 12

¾ cup chopped pecans
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
1 ½ cups very ripe, mashed bananas
1 cup white sugar
2 large eggs
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
½ teaspoon coconut extract
2 tablespoons lemon juice
½ cup light butter, at room temperature

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C). Spread the pecans onto a baking sheet, and toast until the nuts start to turn golden brown and become fragrant, about 45 minutes. Watch the nuts carefully as they bake, they burn quickly. Once toasted, set the nuts aside to cool to room temperature.
  • Raise the oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray 2 mini loaf pans with cooking spray.
  • Combine the toasted pecans, flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. In a large bowl, mix the bananas, sugar, eggs, vanilla and coconut extracts, lemon juice, and butter together with a fork or an electric mixer on low speed. Stir the flour mixture into the banana mixture, and pour the batter into the prepared loaf pans, filling them about 3/4 full.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the middle of a loaf comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Let the loaves cool in the pans for 5 minutes before turning out onto a rack to finish cooling. Wrap cooled loaves in plastic wrap.

BANANA BREAD WITH COCONUT AND PECANS



Banana Bread with Coconut and Pecans image

Banana bread is at its best when it is just sweet enough--but not too sweet; its banana flavor rings clear and true--but is not overly aggressive; and you love it any time of day. It is remarkable how like a good friend banana bread can be.

Time 2h

Yield 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature, plus more for the pan
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for the pan
1/2 cup light-brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
3 to 4 medium very ripe bananas, mashed (1 1/2 cups)
1/2 cup lowfat buttermilk
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup pecans, toasted and coarsely chopped
1 cup coconut flakes

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with butter, then coat with flour, shaking off the excess.
  • Use an electric mixer to beat the brown sugar, granulated sugar and butter together until it is light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs; add the bananas, buttermilk and vanilla and beat until smooth. Stir in the cinnamon, flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt by hand with a rubber spatula. (You don't want to over-beat the batter or the bread will be tough.) Stir in the pecans and coconut and pour into the prepared pan.
  • Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out dry, about 1 hour 15 minutes. Allow to cool 5 minutes in the pan. Run a knife along the sides to loosen the loaf from the pan; invert to remove the bread and place it (bottom side down) on a wire rack to cool.

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 Cup Vegetable Oil (- 115 milliliters - 1/2 cup equals 8 tablespoons)
2 Eggs ((large))
1 1/2 Cups Mashed Bananas (- 345 grams - Roughly 2 1/2 - 3 large & RIPE bananas)
1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract (- 5 milliliters)
2 Cups All Purpose Flour (- 240 grams)
1/2 Cup White Granulated Sugar (- 100 grams)
1/2 Cup Light Brown Sugar ((packed) - 107 grams)
1 Teaspoon Baking Soda (- 5 milliliters)
1 Teaspoon Baking Powder (- 5 milliliters)
1/2 Teaspoon Salt (- 2.5 milliliters)
1 Cup Chopped Pecans (- 115 grams - 3/4 cup mixed into batter & 1/4 cup sprinkled on top of batter)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Mash bananas with a fork.
  • Lightly beat eggs.
  • Stir eggs, mashed bananas, vegetable oil and vanilla extract together in a large bowl.
  • In a separate bowl, mix the dry ingredients (except chopped pecans) together. This helps to evenly spread out the dry ingredients (i.e. baking soda & sugar). Optional - If you have a whisk, use it to mix the dry ingredients because a whisk is better at breaking up any small flour and brown sugar lumps.
  • Pour the mixed dry ingredients (except the chopped pecans) into the bowl containing the wet ingredients. Stir with a large spoon until the batter is fully mixed.
  • Add 3/4 cup of chopped pecans to the batter (and save the remaining 1/4 cup of pecans for later). Stir until the pecans are evenly mixed throughout the batter.
  • Pour the finished batter into a nonstick bread pan. Smooth out the top of the batter within the bread pan.
  • Sprinkle the remaining chopped pecans (1/4 cup) on top of the batter within the bread pan.
  • Bake in the oven for 65-70 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Take out of oven and let the banana bread cool down in the bread pan for 10 minutes. Do not remove the banana bread from the bread pan during this 10 minute cool down period. Use oven mitts as the bread pan will be very hot coming out of the oven.
  • After 10 minutes, remove the banana bread from the bread pan. Place the banana bread on a cooling rack in order to completely cool. This cool down may take 1-2 hours. Gently slide a silicon spatula between the banana bread and the bread pan walls if the banana bread is stuck in the pan.
  • Please read Bread Dad's tips section for extra information on how to make this recipe successfully & to avoid common banana bread problems.
