Banana Bread

This is a very simple, delicious banana bread and it doesn't sink in the middle like so many others I have made do.

Banana Bread

3 ripe bananas
1 cup sugar
½ cup butter, softened
2 eggs, well beaten
2 cups flour
1 t. baking soda
½ t. salt
½ cup pecans, chopped

Mash bananas and set aside. In a large bowl, cream sugar and butter together. Stir in eggs and mashed bananas. In a separate bowl sift together flour, soda, and salt. Add to first mixture and stir together. Stir in nuts. Place in two greased (smaller) bread pans and bake at 350* for 25 minutes. Reduce heat to 275* and bake for an additional 20 to 25 minutes or toothpick comes clean.
