Ingredients You'll Need
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
3 ripe bananas -- 1 1/2 cups mashed
1/4 cup whole milk
1/2 cup honey
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 stick butter -- softened
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 cup pecans -- toasted
Directions
Preheat oven to 350. Grease a 9" x 5"" loaf pan and line the bottom with parchment or waxed paper. Sift together 2 1/2 cups flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda; set aside. In a small bowl, combine bananas, milk, honey and vanilla. Set aside.
In the bowl of a mixer, beat butter and sugar at medium speed until fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Reduce speed to low and alternately add flour mixture and banana mixture, beginning and ending with flour. Beat just until blended. In a small bowl, combine nuts with remaining 1 Tbsp flour and mix well; add to batter. Pour into prepared pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center of bread comes out clean, about 1 hour 10 minutes.
Run a knife around inside rim of pan to remove bread, peel off paper from bottom, and cool completely on a wire rack.
