Ingredients
- 232 g (1-¾ cups) all-purpose flour spooned and leveled
- 5 g (1 teaspoon) baking soda
- 4 g (1 teaspoon) baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon kosher
- ½ cup avocado oil or 1 stick (½ cup) unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup light brown sugar or granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs , room temperature
- 1 cup mashed very ripe bananas , from 2-3 medium-sized bananas
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoons Saigon cinnamon powder
- 90 g (¾ cup) toasted pecans or toasted walnuts, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 °F (176.67 °C). Butter and lightly flour a 9×5-inch metal loaf pan. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and cinnamon.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the avocado oil, salt, and sugar until combined, about 1-2 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the mashed bananas, lemon juice, and vanilla extract and mix well. (The mixture may look a little curdled at this point).
- Add the flour mixture and beat on low speed until just incorporated. Fold in the chopped pecans. Do not over-mix! Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes. Let cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
