Got old bananas?? Don't waste them!! Grab a pack of chopped pecans from the store and make this AWESOME bread...you're sure to have everything you need on hand.



Ingredients:

2 cups flour
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
4 over ripe bananas
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup melted unsalted butter, cooled
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 chopped pecans

Preheat oven to 350.

Grease a 9x5 loaf pan. Combine flour, baking soda and salt - set aside. Mash 2 bananas with a fork in a small bowl. Whip remaining bananas with sugar for 3 minutes. Then add butter, eggs and vanilla. Beat well, scrape down sides of bowl. Mix in dry ingredients until just incorporated, do not over mix.

Fold in nuts and mashed bananas. Pour batter into loaf pan, drop pan on counter a few times to remove air bubbles. Bake for 1 hour 15 min. Let rest for 10 min, remove to rack.
