Ingredients
- 3 ½ cups all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 6 ripe bananas
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1 cup unsalted butter room temperature
- 1 ¾ cups sugar
- 5 large eggs room temperature
- 1 cup pecans chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
- Spray two 9-inch loaf pans (or four 7-inch loaf pans) with baking spray. Set aside.
- Combine flour, soda, and salt. Whisk to combine. Set aside.
- Peel bananas and mash them. Stir in lemon juice. Set aside.
- Beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Do not over-beat.
- Add flour mixture alternately with eggs, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Beat after each addition.
- Mix in bananas.
- Stir in pecans.
- Divide evenly into prepared pans.
- Bake for about 1 hour or until bread tests done, covering with foil after 45 minutes to prevent over browning.
Notes
- Make sure the eggs and butter are room temperature.
- Be sure to cover the loaves about 40-45 minute into cook time with foil. This prevents over-browning while it finishes baking!
- This recipe keeps really well.
- You can make two large loaves or four smaller ones.
- Any nut can be used in place of the pecans. We just prefer pecans.
- Check the expiration date on your baking soda before baking.
