  • 1 cup Chopped Pecans

Instructions

Maple Pecan Topping

  • In a small bowl, combine Maple Syrup and chopped pecan. Side aside.

Banana Loaf

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Prepare your loaf pan by greasing it with avocado oil and placing a 7" wide parchment strip with enough slack that it will stick out of the pan. This makes it easier to lift the loaf out of the pan later.
  • In a large mixing bowl, sift flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine mashed bananas, eggs, sugar, and oil. Mix well.
  • Slowing combine wet ingredients to dry ingredients using a wooden spoon. Mix until just combined with no clumps.
  • Pour into prepared loaf pan and tap out any air bubbles.
  • Spoon maple pecan mixture over top of the batter.
  • Bake on the middle rack. After 30 minutes place a sheet of aluminum foil over the top of the loaf. This will prevent the topping from burning.
  • After an hour, use a toothpick or knife to check for doneness. If still wet, leave for another 10 minutes or until the toothpick comes out clean.
  • After the loaf is removed from the oven, allow cooling in the pan for 20 minutes before removing it onto a cooling rack.
  • Allow the loaf to cool COMPLETELY before cutting into it. This will allow the loaf to develop more flavour!
  • Serve each slice warmed with butter and maple syrup for extra goodness.
