Directions:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Coat an 8 x 4 loaf pan with coconut oil cooking spray (or regular).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Peel 5 bananas and place them in a microwave-safe bowl; cover with plastic wrap then cut a few slits for air vents.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Place into the microwave and cook for 4-5 minutes on high.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Remove from the microwave and pour into a strainer that’s placed over a bowl. Let the banana liquid drain into the bowl, stirring the bananas occasionally, for 15 minutes. You should have about 1\/2 cup of liquid.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Transfer the banana liquid into a small saucepan over medium-high heat.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Boil the liquid, stirring often, until reduced by half (about 1\/4 cup).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. Transfer the cooked\/mashed bananas into a large mixing bowl.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  8. Pour the reduced banana liquid over the mashed\/cooked banana, stir until fairly smooth.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  9. Whisk in the brown sugar, two eggs, and the cooled melted butter and vanilla extract.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  10. Whisk together in a small bowl, the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until well combined.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  11. Gradually add the flour mixture to the banana mixture until just combined.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  12. Add the toasted pecans and combine.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  13. Pour into the prepared loaf pan.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  14. Sprinkle the top of the batter evenly with turbinado sugar.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  15. Place into the oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  16. Remove from the oven and cool bread in pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes, then remove loaf from pan and continue to cool on wire rack. Serve and enjoy.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
