Instructions
Making the Bourbon Banana Bread Batter:
- To begin, preheat your oven to 350°(F).
- Coat a standard loaf pan with butter and set aside for now.
- In your mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Stir it together and set it aside for now.
- Beat the eggs with a whisk in another bowl.
- Add in the bananas. I use my potato masher to mash the bananas and mix in the eggs at the same time.
- Add in your brown sugar, melted butter, and bourbon. Stir it together.
- Add your banana mixture to your dry ingredients and mix well with a whisk.
- Stir in the chopped pecans.
- Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan.
Making the Praline Topping:
- Combine the praline topping ingredients in a bowl and stir well.
- Sprinkle the praline mixture over the top of the banana bread batter.
- Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until the banana bread tests done with a wooden skewer/toothpick. After the first 30 minutes of baking, cover with a tent of aluminum foil to prevent the bread from over-browning.
- Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes.
- Carefully remove the bread from the pan and cool on a rack.
- Enjoy!
