Banana Pecan Bread
This banana bread takes only fifteen minutes to prepare, easily making it one of those go-to recipes. It bakes up moist and is packed with banana flavor and crunchy pecans. You can omit the pecans if you’re not a fan, substituting other nuts or even chocolate chips. My family loves that the outside is a little crispy, while the inside keeps its moistness. So, if you’ve got a bunch of overripe bananas and you're looking fora recipe... make this one!
Ingredients
- 3 or 4 bananas (ripe and mashed)
- ⅓ cup melted butter
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1½ cups Bisquick
- ¾ cup pecans (chopped)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375℉ and lightly grease a loaf pan with vegetable oil. Line the bottom and sides of the pan with parchment paper and set it aside.
- Mash the bananas in a large bowl. Add one-third cup of melted butter and combine using an electric mixer. Mix in three-quarters of a cup of granulated sugar, one large egg, and vanilla.
- In a separate mixing bowl, sift one teaspoon of baking soda with one and one-half cups of Bisquick.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients in with the wet, incorporating until just combined. Do not over mix.
- Cover loosely with foil and bake for approximately thirty minutes. (The foil will prevent the top of the banana bread from excessive browning).
- Remove the foil and continue to bake for an additional thirty minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The top will be a golden brown.
- Transfer to a wire rack for cooling before slicing.
