Time 1h30m

Yield 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

1/2 cup melted unsalted butter or vegetable oil, plus more for greasing pan
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)
1 cup toasted pecans, chopped
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Fine salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 cup buttermilk, sour cream or yogurt
1/2 cup light brown sugar, lightly packed
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
4 soft, very ripe, darkly speckled medium bananas, mashed (about 1 1/2 cups)

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly butter one 9-by-5-inch loaf pan.
Whisk together the flour, pecans, granulated sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon salt and nutmeg in a large bowl. Whisk together the eggs, melted butter, buttermilk, brown sugar and vanilla in a medium bowl; stir in the mashed bananas. Fold the banana mixture into the flour mixture until just combined (it's OK if there are some lumps).
Pour the batter into the buttered pan and lightly tap the pan on the counter to evenly distribute the batter. Bake until browned and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out completely clean, about 1 hour. Let the bread cool for 10 minutes in the pan, then turn out onto a rack to cool completely.

Tips:

Use ripe bananas. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your bread will be.
Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make your bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Use a loaf pan that is at least 9x5 inches. A smaller pan will make your bread too thick and dense.
Bake the bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This usually takes about 60-70 minutes.
Let the bread cool completely before slicing it. This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.
Serve the bread with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include butter, jam, cream cheese, and nuts.

Conclusion:

Janet's Famous Banana Nut Bread is a delicious and easy-to-make recipe that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist and flavorful crumb and crunchy pecan topping, this bread is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a sweet and satisfying treat, give this recipe a try.
