Banana Pecan Bread
Description
This Banana Pecan Bread recipe starts with mashing ripe bananas, which provide natural sweetness and moisture. The batter combines banana, softened butter, eggs, granulated and brown sugar, vanilla extract, baking soda, and salt. Flour is added and mixed gently to avoid overdeveloping gluten, preserving tenderness. Chopped pecans are folded into the batter, with some reserved for topping.
Baked at 350°F in a greased loaf pan for 50 to 60 minutes, the bread gains a golden crust and moist interior. The pecans add texture and nutty flavor that complements the sweetness of the bananas. Letting the bread cool before slicing ensures clean slices.
Banana Pecan Bread is suitable for breakfast, snacks, or dessert. Its rich texture and nutty addition make it satisfying and versatile. The bread can be wrapped and kept at room temperature for several days to maintain freshness.

- Then mix in the butter, eggs, sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, baking soda and salt. Blend with a hand held or stand up mix until well combined.
- Add in the flour and mix on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to over mix.
- Then gently fold in 1 cup of the chopped pecans with a spoon or spatula and then pour the batter into the loaf pan.
- Top the batter in the pan with the remaining chopped pecans.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
- Let the bread sit for 10 minutes in the pan and then transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Then the bread is ready to slice and enjoy!
Notes
- Store leftover bread wrapped in plastic wrap at room temperature for up to 5 days to keep it moist.
