Honey Pecan Banana Bread

This honey pecan banana bread is delicious! It’s sweetened with bananas, honey and brown sugar with a delicious nutty texture and flavor from the pecans. It’s the perfect way to use up ripe bananas or buy bananas just so you can make this recipe. Perfect for breakfast or a snack any time of day.

My kids love banana bread with butter and so do I. If you love butter on the bread too then make sure to pull some out of the refrigerator before you make this bread and it will come to room temperature by the time this bread is baked.
