Equipment

Ingredients
 

  • 2 bananas
  • 285 grams all-purpose flour
  • 110 grams butter
  • 230 grams granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 150 grams yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 150 grams pecans
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 275 grams icing sugar

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375 F
  • Roughly chop half the pecans into small pieces and the other half into larger chunks. 
  • Mash the bananas to a mush with a fork and then mix in the yogurt. 
  • In a bowl, whisk the sugar and butter together until it is smooth and fluffy. 
  • Slowly add the eggs, and then the banana/yogurt mixture. 
  • Combine the flour, cinnamon and baking soda together in a separate bowl, and then fold into the bowl of wet mixture. 
  • Stir through the small chunks of pecans, and then pour the batter into a greased cake tin.
  • Bake in the oven for around an hour, it needs quite a long time to cook as it's such a wet batter. To test if it's done, poke a skewer into the batter and check it comes out clean. Remove to a cooling rack.

Maple glaze

  • To make the icing, boil the water in a kettle.
  • Sift the icing sugar into a bowl and gradually but briskly stir in the water to avoid any lumps. Add the maple syrup and stir until it is smooth and combined. 
  • Pour the maple glaze over the banana bread and then sprinkle the rest of the pecans on top. Slice up and serve!
