What is better than a loaf of golden banana nut bread sitting on your counter? It’s fabulous for breakfast and a comforting after school snack. If you’re like me, you usually have a few bananas sitting around that are past their prime. No problem! Make some banana bread!

Ingredients for Golden Banana Nut Bread

• 3-4 overripe bananas
• 1 cup sugar

• 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) butter - melted
• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 1/2 cup pecans - chopped

Cooking Instructions

1. In a standing mixer with the whisk attachment, cream the peeled bananas and the sugar. Allow this mixture to whisk for about 3-4 minutes.
2. While the mixer runs, combine the flour, baking soda and salt in a separate mixing bowl and use a balloon whisk to combine. Set aside.
3. To the banana and sugar mixture, add the melted butter, the eggs and the vanilla.
4. Don’t over beat, just combine all.
5. On a low setting, add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture until combined.
6. Fold in the pecans.
7. Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan and bake in a 350 degree oven for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
