Beckies Moist Banana Bread
Total preparation time: 25 min
Serves: 8Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 4 cups All Purpose Flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking Soda
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon (ground)
- 1/2 teaspoon Cardamon (ground)
- 4 Ripe Bananas
- 4 Eggs
- 2/3 cup Plain Yogurt
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla
- 1 cup Melted Butter
- 1 1/2 cups Chopped Toasted Pecans
Steps:
- Heat Oven to 350. Non stick spray 2 9x5 or 4-5 small loaf pans. Melt butter and cool.Toast chopped pecans 5 min or until fragrant, set aside.
- Mix the wet ingredients together, add mashed bananas. Mix dry ingredients together. Add the wet to the dry and 1 cup of the toasted pecans(or more if not using on top), just enough to moisten, do not overmix!
- Divide into the pans and sprinkle with extra pecans and 1/2 cup sugar( sometimes I use raw sugar on top it makes a little crust!)
- Bake for 45-55 mins. Test with toothpick, should be little crumb. Cool on racks for 5 min and then remove to racks to cool. Wrap in foli. This freezes very well, so double it and have it for drop in guests!
