We slice this banana bread so thick it is almost embarrassing-but we need fat slices to deliver ample portions of the Pineapple Spread. When beating the cream cheese for the spread, beat the cheese until it is as light and fluffy as whipped cream. -Lee Ann Miller, Millersburg, Ohio

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.
Tips:
- Use ripe bananas. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your loaf will be.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the loaf tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the loaf at the right temperature. The loaf should be baked at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the loaf cool completely before slicing. This will help the loaf to hold its shape and prevent it from crumbling.
- Store the loaf in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
