DIRECTIONS
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Lightly spray oil on the inside of 2 loaf pans (8 1/2" x 4 1/2" x 2 1/2"). Place some parchment paper in the bottom of pans if you have it. If not, don't worry about it. You can also use a cake pan but the loaf pans work better.
- Combine the flour, salt, and baking soda in a small bowl.
- In a separate large bowl, mash the bananas and mix in the butter, sugar, eggs, pecans, and bourbon.
- Add the combined dry ingredients into the large bowl and hand stir just until the batter is blended (try not to over stir).
- Pour batter equally into the two loaf pans.
- Bake for 60-70 minutes until the loaves pass the toothpick test.
- Let the loaves cool for 5 minutes, then turn them out onto a rack to finish cooling. If you used the parchment paper, they will roll out of the pans with no difficulty.
- Slice and serve. This bread is tasty all by itself but it can also be spread with butter, cream, jam, or whatever your favorite topping happens to be.
