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 non-stick cooking spray.
Mash 2 bananas with a fork and set aside.
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.
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.
I like to dust the top with powdered sugar.
