Candied Pecan Banana Bread Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter and flour a 9-by-5-inch metal loaf pan.
• Whisk the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt and cinnamon together in a large bowl.
• Lightly beat the egg in a medium bowl with a fork or a whisk. Add the banana and mix to combine. Stir in the sour cream, vanilla and melted butter. Stir the sour cream-banana mixture into the flour mixture until just combined. Stir in the chocolate chips and pecans until just combined but with a few lumps still in the batter. Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and smooth out into an even layer.
• Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean, 1 hour, 5 minutes to 1 hour, 10 minutes. Cool in the pan on a rack for 20 minutes. Run a thin knife along the sides of the pan to loosen the bread and unmold it. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and lightly grease a 9 by 5-inch loaf pan.
• In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.

Steps:

In a large bowl, mix the bananas, sugar, eggs, vanilla and coconut extracts, lemon juice, and butter together with a fork or an electric mixer on low speed. Stir the flour mixture into the banana mixture, and pour the batter into the prepared loaf pans, filling them about 3/4 full.
