How to Make Amy Grants Grandma Grant Banana Nut Bread

1. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Grease and flour an 8x4 inch loaf pan.
2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 3 mashed ripe bananas.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
6. Stir in 1 cup chopped pecans.
7. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan.
8. Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top starts to brown too quickly, loosely tent with foil.
9. Let the bread cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
