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.

VERY MOIST BANANA NUT BREAD
This is a very easy, "no mixer" bread to make. It is very moist and a little heavy type banana bread. The really important thing to remember is using all black bananas to get my same results. I always use 5 medium sized bananas and this recipe makes 2 loaves. Also, I've never used buttermilk, but sour milk instead..a little vinegar added to regular milk. I've used this recipe since 1972 and last year made 32 loaves to give away for Christmas! It's truly a wonderful bread. I only bake it until the toothpick comes out almost clean, as we like it really moist. If you over bake it, or wait til the toothpick is completely clean, the bread will be a lot dryer. I realize some like it this way, so thats why I've given this hint. My family and friends would rather have it a little under done than over. It's so good with coffee, butter/jelly or I like mine just plain. I bake it in tin foil pans and it freezes wonderfully. I try to always have one or two in the freezer for company, or a little gift. This recipe came from a ladies club cookbook. The kind where everyone contributes recipes, they are made into a recipe book and sold to make money for charities. All the cooks are just plain "down home" country gals that produce miracles in the kitchen. It's my favorite cookbook and I've almost worn it out and it can't be replaced. I know there are many banana bread recipes here, so thanks for trying this recipe. I hope you enjoy it!

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350°. Grease or spray 2 loaf pans.
- In a large bowl, mash bananas with a masher or by well washed hands.
- Dissolve soda in buttermilk-- use a larger container as it will foam up quite a bit.
- Mix all ingredients by hand and add in 1 cup chopped nuts. Bake at 350° for 1 hour, or until toothpick comes out ALMOST clean.
- Totally clean will mean a dryer loaf.
- Let cool 15 minutes after removing from oven and remove from pans.
- Or, let cool, cover with foil, slide into freezer bags and freeze.
- Great when using tin foil pans.
Tips:
- Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your bread will be.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter, more tender bread.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition: This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
- Stir in the mashed bananas and vanilla extract: These ingredients will add flavor and moisture to your bread.
- Sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt: This will help to ensure that the dry ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients alternately with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients: This will help to prevent the batter from becoming too stiff.
- Stir in the chopped pecans: These will add a nice crunch and flavor to your bread.
- Pour the batter into a greased and floured loaf pan: This will prevent the bread from sticking to the pan.
- Bake the bread at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: Keep an eye on the bread while it's baking, and cover it with foil if it starts to brown too quickly.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack: This will help to prevent the bread from breaking.
Conclusion:
This moist banana pecan bread is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. It is also a great way to use up ripe bananas. With its moist texture, sweet banana flavor, and crunchy pecans, this bread is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you have some ripe bananas on hand, give this recipe a try!
