Ingredients

  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 1 and 1/2 cups unbleached organic flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup soften unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup pure cane sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 egg lightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 & 1/2 cup over ripe mashed bananas
  • Optional Cream Cheese Maple Drizzle:
  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 3/4 cups powdered sugar
  • 6 tablespoons milk at room temperature
  • 1/2 maple flavoring extract or vanilla flavoring extract

Instructions

  • Preheat oven at 350 degrees.
  • Place the chopped pecans on a pan that has been lined with parchment paper.
  • Once the oven temperature is at 350 degrees, place the pan of pecans in the oven. Cook the pecans for about 5 minutes. Remove the pecans from the oven. Let the pecans cool.
  • While the pecans cool, whisk the flour, salt, and baking soda together in a bowl, set aside.
  • Next, mix the butter, and sugars with a mixer until well blended. (Mixing for about 1 to 2 minutes)
  • Then, add the egg, vanilla, cinnamon, and sour cream to mixer. Mix for about 30 seconds.
  • Now add the flour mix and mix for about 30 seconds. Make sure to scrap the bottom of the bowl and the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula to make sure all the ingredients are mixed well into the batter.
  • Next, mix in the bananas into the batter, mix for about 30 seconds until bananas are mixed into the batter. Remember to scrap the sides and bottom of the mixing bowl to make sure everything is mixed together.
  • Mix the nuts into your batter mixture with your rubber spatula or spoon.
  • Pour the batter into a greased 9x5 bread loaf pan.
  • Bake the bread at 350 degrees for about 55 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick is clean when inserted into the bread when checking to see if the bread is done. (I usually start checking after 40 minutes of cook time to determine if the bread has finished cooking.
  • How to make the cream cheese drizzle:
  • Mix powdered sugar and cream cheese together in a blender until mixture is smooth.
  • Add milk and flavoring extract and blend until smooth.

Notes

Cooking Tip:
Make sure not to over mix the batter at is makes the bread tough.
Instead of pure cane sugar, you can use brown sugar instead and still get good results.
