Banana Bread

Ever let a banana turn brown on purpose just for an excuse to make banana bread?  No?  Me neither...just a dumb question I thought I'd ask...

Here is a good recipe though for a nice snack in the afternoon or Breakfast extra...



INGREDIENTS 

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted and cooled, plus more for the pan

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled

1 teaspoon baking powder

 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

3 ripe bananas, mashed (about 1 1/4 cups)

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup light brown sugar

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 cup pecans, chopped


DIRECTIONS


Heat oven to 350° F.

 Butter an 8½-by-4½-inch loaf pan.

 In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. In a large bowl, mix together the butter, bananas, granulated and light brown sugars, eggs, and vanilla.

Add the flour mixture and mix until just combined (do not overmix); fold in the pecans.

 Spread the batter in the prepared pan and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 50 to 60 minutes (tent with foil if top browns too quickly).

Cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

 

Serve with a big glass of milk-

Enjoy! Eat and Drink well my friends!
