Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 stick butter
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups mashed banana
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped pecans
  • 2 TBSP pure maple syrup

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees & spray a loaf pan with non-stick spray (I also like to line with parchment paper)
  • In a stand mixer with a paddle attachment or bowl with hand mixer, cream together the butter, sugar & brown sugar until light & fluffy. Add the eggs, vanilla & banana. Scrape the sides of the bowl, then mix again. Then, add in the flour, baking powder, baking soda & cinnamon. Mix until combined & then fold in the pecans.
  • Add the batter to the loaf pan and bake for 45 minutes - 1 hour, until the center comes out clean. Drizzle with the maple syrup as soon as it comes out of the oven.
  • ENJOY!
