Paula Deen Banana Bread

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease the bottom and the sides of 2 loaf pans with oil or butter, or line with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt.

Step 3

In a large bowl, beat the butter, bananas, and eggs just until combined.

Step 4

Pour the dry ingredients into the banana mixture. Gently mix just until the batter is lump-free. Stir in the pecans.

Step 5

Pour the batter into prepared pans. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 6

Let the bread cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer onto a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy!
