Let the cake cool before removing it from the mold.

PECAN BANANA BREAD

 

Hello! Today I have a super delicious recipe that almost all people love. BANANA BREAD

I hardly like bananas but I had several quite ripe almost turning into honey and I didn't want to throw them away, so I took the opportunity to make this pancake and give it a try. Disappointed?  not all all!

This pancake has no common flour, no oil, no butter, no milk and no sugar! can you believe it? and still the flavor is delicious.

Ready?

INGREDIENTS:

3 ripped bananas, the brown ones and full of dots works better because they are more sweet than the perfectly yellow ones.

3/4 cup coconut flour or almond flour, I use both.

5 eggs, medium

1 teaspoon of cinnamon 

a pinch of salt

1 teaspoon of vanilla extract 

1/4 cup of pecans chopped.

I used a small loaf pan

1/2 teaspoon of baking soda (optional) if you avoid the backing soda the loaf will be less spongy but same taste. 

INSTRUCTIONS.

Preheat the oven to 350 ° F. 

Lightly spray the pan with oil including the sides.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, mashed bananas and vanilla.

Gradually whisk in the almond and coconut flour, cinnamon, chopped pecans, salt, and finally the baking soda. Whisk until smooth.

With a spoon or spatula, transfer the batter to the prepared pan. Gently evenly distribute the batter.

If you want you can decorate with pecans in halves. (optional)

Bake the banana bread until browned and set, and a toothpick inserted in its center comes out dry, 40-50 minutes

Cool the bread completely before removing it from the pan, about 1 hour.

Carefully remove the banana bread from the pan, you can use a knife to separate between borders and then falpp it down, then turn it down again to a main plate to keep the main view of the banana bread.

At the end you can add extra pecans if you want more nutty flavors and of course...Vanilla ice cream is a great companion.
