BANANA EXPLOSION BREAD WITH NUTMEG CANDIED PECANS
Calling all banana bread lovers! This is a triple banana threat...banana puree, diced banana, and banana flavoring. Nutmeg and banana are great together so I decided to lightly toast pecans in butter, vanilla sugar, and nutmeg. What a combination!

Steps:
- 1. In a medium non stick skillet melt butter on medium low heat. Add pecans, vanilla sugar, and nutmeg. Stir to combine. Continue to cook for 2 minutes. Turn off heat and allow to cool while preparing banana bread.
- 2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9 x 5 loaf pan with cooking spray.
- 3. Mash 2 bananas. It should equal about 1 cup.
- 4. Dice the 3rd banana. I find it easiest to cut down the center length wise, give it a quarter turn and slice again. Then dice.
- 5. Measure 1 1/2 cup flour. In a bowl add diced banana. Add 1 Tablespoon of the measured flour over diced bananas and gently stir to coat bananas
- 6. To the remaining flour add baking soda and salt. Stir to combine.
- 7. In a mixing bowl cream butter until fluffy about 3 minutes.
- 8. Add mashed bananas and continue to mix on medium speed about 3 minutes.
- 9. Add sugars and mix until well combined and creamy.
- 10. Add eggs, sour cream, vanilla and banana extract. Mix until well combined.
- 11. Add flour mixture all at once. Mix only until moistened.
- 12. Add diced banana and toasted pecans. Mix on low until incorporated.
- 13. Pour batter into greased loaf pan and bake for 30 minutes. Rotate pan and bake for an additional 30 minutes checking frequently for color. If your bread reaches desired brownness before cooking time is over, cover with aluminum foil gently and continue to bake.
- 14. Remove from oven and test with a toothpick. If more time is required cook an addition 10 to 20 minutes checking frequently. I added this step because everyone's oven cooks differently.
- 15. When done allow to cool in pan 10 minutes. Then remove from pan and allow to cool on a wire rack. Once warm to the touch but not hot, wrap in aluminum foil and cool in the fridge for at least an hour or two before slicing.
BANANA BREAD WITH PECANS
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and lightly grease a 9 by 5-inch loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
- Mash 2 of the bananas with a fork in a small bowl so they still have a bit of texture. With an electric mixer fitted with a wire whisk, whip the remaining bananas and sugar together for a good 3 minutes; you want a light and fluffy banana cream. Add the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla; beat well and scrape down the sides of the bowl. Mix in the dry ingredients just until incorporated; no need to overly blend. Fold in the nuts and the mashed bananas with a rubber spatula. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Give the pan a good rap on the counter to get any air bubbles out.
- Bake for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean. Don't get nervous if the banana bread develops a crack down the center of the loaf; that's no mistake, it's typical. Rotate the pan periodically to ensure even browning.
- Cool the bread in the pan for 10 minutes or so, and then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing. Toast the slices of banana bread, dust with confectioners' sugar, and serve.

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.

Tips:
- Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your bread will be.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Use a loaf pan that is at least 9x5 inches: This will ensure that your bread has enough room to rise.
- Bake the bread at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 50-60 minutes: Check the bread for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. If the toothpick comes out clean, the bread is done.
- Let the bread cool completely before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and the bread to set.
