Ingredients

  • 3 large bananas mashed, as ripe as possible
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup brown sugar dark
  • ¼ cup honey
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cup self-rising flour
  • ½ cup chopped pecans optional

Instructions

  • First, preheat your oven to 325F, and spray the inside of a loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray.
  • In a large mixing bowl, add the mashed bananas, eggs, brown sugar, honey, oil (makes a moister bread than butter), cinnamon, and vanilla.
    3 large bananas, 2 large eggs, ½ cup brown sugar, ¼ cup honey, ½ cup vegetable oil, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Mix well with an electric hand mixer until everything is combined evenly.
  • Add the self-rising flour and the chopped pecans (optional of course). Using a wooden spoon or spatula, mix until all the flour steaks are gone. Don't over mix.
    2 cup self-rising flour, ½ cup chopped pecans
  • Pour the banana bread batter into the prepared loaf pan. Using a vegetable peeler and a fairly fresh banana, peel two long slices of banana and lay it on top of the batter in a strategic manner (at your discretion).
  • Place middle rack of the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes. I used a 5x8 loaf pan and it baked for 60 minutes for the loaf in the photographs.
  • Remove from the oven when a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean, and let sit to cool for 15-20 minutes before tipping out and slicing.

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas for the best flavor and texture.
  • Don't overmix the batter. A few lumps are perfectly fine!
  • Allow the banana bread to cool completely before slicing for cleaner cuts.
