Instructions:
-
Prepare the Dry Ingredients:
- Start by preheating your oven to 350ยฐF (175ยฐC).
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir well to ensure everything is evenly mixed.
-
Chop the Pecans (Optional):
- If you are using pecans, place them in your blender and pulse for about 10 seconds to chop them into small pieces. This adds a wonderful texture to your bread.
-
Blend the Wet Ingredients:
- In the blender, add the sugar, softened butter, egg, ripe bananas, and milk. Pulse or blend for about 15 seconds, or until everything is well combined and the mixture is smooth.
-
Combine the Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- Pour the banana mixture from the blender into the bowl with the dry ingredients. If you’re using chopped pecans, add them to the bowl as well.
- Gently mix the wet and dry ingredients together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it should be moist but slightly lumpy.
-
Bake the Banana Bread:
- Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan, then pour the batter into the pan.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
-
Cool and Serve:
- Let the banana bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy!
Tips for Perfect Banana Bread:
- Bananas: The riper, the better! Overripe bananas give this bread its rich flavor and moisture.
- Texture: For a smoother texture, you can blend the banana mixture longer, but leaving it a bit chunky will give the bread more texture.
- Add-ins: Feel free to customize this recipe by adding your favorite nuts, chocolate chips, or even dried fruit like raisins or cranberries.
- Storage: Store leftover banana bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate it for up to a week.
