Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and cinnamon. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, egg, and vegetable oil until the mixture is smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Add the mashed bananas to the wet mixture and stir until well combined.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Be careful not to overmix; stir just until combined.
- Gently fold in the chopped pecans until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Slice the banana bread and serve. Enjoy it as a delicious breakfast or a satisfying snack!
Tips:
- Use overripe bananas for the best flavor and natural sweetness. The riper the bananas, the better.
- Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can lead to a dense and tough loaf. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- You can add a handful of chocolate chips or dried fruit to the batter for an extra twist.
- Line your loaf pan with parchment paper for easy removal and to prevent sticking.
- Allow the banana bread to cool completely before slicing to ensure clean, even slices.
Your banana bread is now ready to be savored! With its delightful aroma and irresistible flavor, this recipe makes for a perfect companion to your morning coffee or a sweet ending to your day. Enjoy each slice plain or with a spread of butter or cream cheese. Happy baking!
