Instructions:
-
Prepare Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan.
-
Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, beat together the butter and margarine at medium speed until creamy. Gradually add the honey, beating well after each addition. Then, add the eggs one at a time, beating thoroughly after each addition until the mixture is smooth. Add the bananas and mix well to incorporate.
-
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir in the pecans until evenly distributed.
-
Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until the dry ingredients are moistened and no streaks of flour remain. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in a tougher texture.
-
Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
-
Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
