How to Make Banana Pecan Loaf

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, mash bananas until mostly smooth. Add sugar, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Stir in chopped pecans.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 60-75 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
