How to Make Aunt Carrie's Banana Bread
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 5x9 inch loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then beat in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Mash 3 ripe bananas very well and stir them into the wet ingredients.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Stir in 1 cup chopped pecans (optional).
- Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan.
- Bake for 50-65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Start checking for doneness around the 50-minute mark.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
