I slice this bread so thick when I eat it, it's almost embarrassing! This banana bread is rich, super moist and flavorful. It's hard to stop at just one slice.

¹⁄₂

cup butter, softened
1

cup brown sugar, packed
2

eggs
3

medium bananas, ripened and mashed (for ease, I mash my bananas with a pastry cutter)
2

cups all-purpose flour
¹⁄₃

teaspoon baking powder
¹⁄₂

teaspoon baking soda

¹⁄₂

DIRECTIONS

In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in mashed bananas.
Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; add to creamed mixture. Fold in pecans.
Transfer batter to a greased 9-in. x 5-in. loaf pan. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center of the loaf comes out clean.
Cool for 10 minutes before removing loaf from pan to a wire rack.
For an equally delicious spread: combine 1 pkg. (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened, and 1 cup canned crushed pineapple, well drained. It's delicious as a spread for your banana bread.
