Banana Pecan Nut Bread

‍

Being home  you start craving foods that bring you warmth and comfort and for us, that's banana bread. I'll also add that as a general rule, I don't like ripe bananas. Yep. I know. Unpopular opinion! I can't stand bananas that have brown spots and are "mushy". Once that happens, to the freezer they go! Because of this, we've been collecting bananas for months now and what better way to use them than in banana bread

‍

While there's nothing wrong with a rich, sweet dessert (and by nothing wrong, they're great!), we are also fans of those desserts that are more on the semi-sweet side. The versatility you get with banana bread is awesome We eat it for breakfast, as a snack AND as dessert.

Tips for making the banana bread

‍

• Fully incorporate the egg: As you start to add the eggs into your butter and sugar mixture, make sure that the first egg is fully incorporated into the batter before adding the next egg.
• Scrape the sides: Make sure to scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl and paddle to ensure everything gets mixed in.
• Don't over mix: When you add the flour mixture, don't over mix! The secret in getting the perfectly moist banana bread is in mixing just long enough to combine the ingredients.
