  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients alternately with the mashed bananas, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  5. Stir in the chopped pecans.

Notes

Tip: For extra flavor, toast the pecans before adding them to the batter. Make sure your bananas are very ripe for the best sweetness and moisture.
