How to Make Banana Banana Nut Bread

  1. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
  2. Grease and flour two 9x5 inch loaf pans.
  3. Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add 1 cup buttermilk, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix well.
  5. Stir in 1 package (3.4 oz) instant banana pudding mix, ½ teaspoon salt, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Mix until just combined.
  6. Gradually add 3 cups all-purpose flour, one cup at a time, mixing until just incorporated. Do not overmix.
  7. Peel and mash 3 ripe bananas. Add to the batter and mix until evenly distributed.
  8. Stir in 1 cup chopped pecans.
  9. Pour batter evenly into the prepared loaf pans.
  10. Bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. If the bread is browning too quickly, loosely tent with foil.
  11. Let cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
