Pecan Nut Bread

Directions

1. 1
   Preheat your oven to 350 degrees, and spray your 9x5 loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray.

   In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. 3
   In another large bowl, mash bananas, then add brown sugar and mix.
4. 4
   Add in eggs, mix again until just incorporated.
5. 5
   Add vanilla, maple syrup, and melted butter, mix again.
6. 6
   Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet, mixing as you add.
7. 7
   Mix until just incorporated, careful not to over-mix. Gently stir in chopped pecans.
8. 8
   Pour the batter into your loaf pan and bake 50-60 minutes. Tent the pan with foil for the last 20 minutes or so, to avoid too much browning on top.
9. 9
   Let the bread cool, and then serve.
