Banana Oatmeal Pecan Bread Recipes

OATMEAL PECAN BANANA BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350*F Spray one bread pan with cooking spray and set aside. Blend together eggs, sugar and butter. Add salt, baking soda & baking powder. Mix again. Add oatmeal and bananas and blend well, scraping sides if needed. Add flour then pecans. Mix well after each addition. Scrape sides of bowl and ensure all is mixed well. Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake for 1 hour or until toothpick inserted into middle of bread comes out clean. Remove from oven, allow to cool for 5 minutes. Remove from pan, slice and slather it with butter! Devour immediately.

BANANA BREAD WITH PECANS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and lightly grease a 9 by 5-inch loaf pan.
• In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
• Mash 2 of the bananas with a fork in a small bowl so they still have a bit of texture. With an electric mixer fitted with a wire whisk, whip the remaining bananas and sugar together for a good 3 minutes; you want a light and fluffy banana cream. Add the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla; beat well and scrape down the sides of the bowl. Mix in the dry ingredients just until incorporated; no need to overly blend. Fold in the nuts and the mashed bananas with a rubber spatula. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Give the pan a good rap on the counter to get any air bubbles out.
• Bake for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean. Don't get nervous if the banana bread develops a crack down the center of the loaf; that's no mistake, it's typical. Rotate the pan periodically to ensure even browning.
• Cool the bread in the pan for 10 minutes or so, and then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing. Toast the slices of banana bread, dust with confectioners' sugar, and serve.

• Cool on a wire rack, in the pan, for about 15 minutes (I left mine in longer and it was fine).
• Remove the bread from the pan after 15 minutes and cool thoroughly on the rack.
