Tips:

- Use ripe bananas for the best flavor and natural sweetness. The riper, the better, as they will be easier to mash and will blend more smoothly into the batter.

- Toasting the pecans before adding them to the batter can enhance their flavor and add a deeper nutty taste to the bread.

- Make sure to mix the wet and dry ingredients separately before combining them to ensure even distribution of all components.

- If you prefer a lighter bread, you can sift the flour before measuring to aerate it and remove any lumps.

- For a more decadent touch, you can add a handful of chocolate chips or a swirl of cinnamon sugar into the batter before baking.

- Always test for doneness by inserting a toothpick or cake tester into the center of the bread. If it comes out clean or with a few crumbs clinging to it, the bread is done.

Once your Pecan Banana Bread is baked to perfection, allow it to cool slightly before slicing. The combination of moist banana, crunchy pecans, and a touch of sweetness from the maple syrup makes this bread a crowd-pleaser. Store any leftovers wrapped in aluminum foil or plastic wrap at room temperature for up to three days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week. Enjoy your homemade and deliciously comforting Pecan Banana Bread!
