Ingredients:

1.50 cups all-purpose white wheat flour
190g
1 tsp baking powder
5g
1 tsp cinnamon
3g
1/2 cup sugar
100g
1 egg
50g
1/3 cup vegetable oil
50g
1 tsp vanilla extract
4g
3 bananas
360g
1/3 cup pecans
40g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
2. Prepare Dry Ingredients:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and cinnamon. Set aside.
3. Mix Wet Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, egg, and vegetable oil until the mixture is smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. Incorporate Bananas:
- Add the mashed bananas to the wet mixture and stir until well combined.
5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Be careful not to overmix; stir just until combined.
6. Add Pecans:
- Gently fold in the chopped pecans until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
7. Transfer to Pan:
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.
8. Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Cool and Serve:
- Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Enjoy!
- 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!
