Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter at room temp

  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3 cups self-rising flour

  • 1.5 cups chopped pecans
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon allspice
  • 1/4 teaspoon cloves

Topping

  • 1/2 cup dark or light brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons softened butter
  • 2 tablespoons flour

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, stir together the topping ingredients and set aside.

    3/4 cup unsalted butter at room temp, 8 ounces cream cheese at room temp
  • Add eggs and sugar and beat again until mixed.
    2 cups granulated sugar, 2 large eggs
  • Add in flour, bananas, 1 cup of chopped pecans, and spices. Mix until fully incorporated. Bananas will still have some chunks and the batter will be thick. 
    3 cups self-rising flour, 4 medium ripe bananas, 1.5 cups chopped pecans, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon allspice, 1/4 teaspoon cloves
  • Spray two 9x5 loaf pans liberally with baking spray. Divide the mixture evenly among the greased loaf pans. Sprinkle with topping mixture and remaining pecans.
    1.5 cups chopped pecans
  • Bake at 350 for one hour or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cover with foil after 30 minutes to prevent pecans from burning. 
  • Allow it to cool in the pan for ten minutes before turning it out. Enjoy!
