INGREDIENTS
·
2
cups all-purpose flour
·
1
1/2 teaspoons baking soda

1/2
teaspoon salt
·
4
overripe bananas
·
1
cup sugar
·
3/4
cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted and cooled

2
large eggs

teaspoon pure vanilla extract

cup pecans, finely chopped

INSTRUCTIONS
1.
Preheat
oven to 350 degrees F and lightly grease a 9 by 5-inch loaf pan.
2.
In
a large bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
3.
Mash
2 of the bananas with a fork in a small bowl so they still have a bit of
texture. With an electric mixer fitted with a wire whisk, whip the remaining
bananas and sugar together for a good 3 minutes; you want a light and fluffy
banana cream. Add the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla; beat well and scrape
down the sides of the bowl. Mix in the dry ingredients just until incorporated;
no need to overly blend. Fold in the nuts and the mashed bananas with a rubber
spatula. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Give the pan a good rap on
the counter to get any air bubbles out.
4.
Bake
for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, until golden brown and a toothpick inserted
into the center of the loaf comes out clean. Don't get nervous if the banana
bread develops a crack down the center of the loaf; that's no mistake, it's
typical. Rotate the pan periodically to ensure even browning.
5.
Cool
the bread in the pan for 10 minutes or so, and then turn out onto a wire rack
to cool completely before slicing. Toast the slices of banana bread, dust with
confectioners' sugar, and serve.
