Banana Nut Bread

This is my fave banana nut bread recipe. My fiance found the recipe at ChezWhat? a couple of years ago and I haven't used another recipe since then. It's a super easy recipe to throw together and is very good. There are only two steps in the mixing process!


Makes 1 loaf.
Bake time: 1 hr 15 min


Here's what you'll need:

• 1/2 c (1 stick) butter, softened
• 1 c white granulated sugar
• 2 eggs
• 2 c flour
• 1/2 c chopped pecans
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 3 ripe bananas, mashed
• standard size loaf pan

Feel free to skip past the picture demonstration to get straight to the listed directions.

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Coat a standard size loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray and flour (I used Baker's Joy which is non-stick cooking spray + flour in a can. Pam also makes this).

Cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. 

Add the eggs, flour, chopped pecans, baking soda, and mashed bananas to the bowl. Stir until combined.

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. 

Spread evenly and pop it into the preheated oven. Bake for 1 hr 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

That's it! So easy.
