How To Make Banana Bread

Mama's gonna show you how to make banana bread that is moist, delicious and full of flavor!


2 cups self-rising flour
4 overripe bananas
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) butter, melted and cooled
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup pecans, finely chopped

Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9 by 5 inch loaf pan with PAM cooking spray.

Mash 2 bananas with a fork and set aside.

Put the bananas and sugar into a large mixing bowl.

Using a mixer with a wire whip attachment, whip the two other bananas together with the sugar until it makes a light and fluffy banana cream. This will take several minutes.

Add the melted butter, eggs and vanilla extract. Beat well.

Using a rubber spatula, mix in the flour just until incorporated.

Fold in the nuts and the two mashed bananas.

Pour the batter into the greased loaf pan.

Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes or a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool for 10 minutes before removing from the pan. Finish cooling on a wire rack.
