Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup packed light brown sugar

  • 1 cup mashed sweet potatoes
  • 1 cup mashed bananas
  • 2 teaspoons maple extract
  • ½ + ¼ cup chopped pecans, divided
Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 F. Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
  3. To a separate large bowl, add the butter, brown sugar, eggs, sour cream, sweet potatoes, bananas, and maple extract.
  4. Beat with an electric mixer or stand mixer until smooth and blended.
  5. Add the dry ingredients to the bowl of wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
  6. Stir in ½ cup of the chopped pecans.
  7. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan.
  8. Sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup of pecans on top of the batter.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 55–60 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out with just a few, moist crumbs.
  10. Let banana bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove from the pan and onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. Slice and enjoy.
