Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease your loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
In another bowl, mash the bananas and mix in the softened butter and eggs until smooth.
Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture gently until just combined; minimal lumps are fine.
Carefully incorporate the chopped pecans without overmixing.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
Bake for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean from the center.
Cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
