Miso Pecan Banana Bread

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup pecans
  • 1 tsp. sea or table salt
  • ½ tsp. vegetable oil, plus more for pan
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • ½ tsp. ground nutmeg
  • ½ tsp. baking soda
  • ½ tsp. baking powder
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 3 tbsp. whole milk
  • 2 tbsp. white miso
  • 1 tbsp. honey
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1-¾ cups very ripe bananas, mashed

Instructions
 

  • Pre-heat the oven to 350°F.
  • Lightly oil a 9-inch or 10-inch loaf tin; line the base with parchment paper.
  • Toss pecans on a parchment-lined baking sheet with salt and oil.
  • Place in the pre-heated oven and bake until fragrant; 7 to 10 minutes.
  • Remove from oven; when cool, chop to your desired consistency.
  • While the pecans cool, in a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda and baking powder.
  • In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat butter and sugar until creamy; 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Beat in eggs, milk, miso, honey and vanilla extract until well-combined.
  • Gradually beat in dry ingredients until just combined.
  • Using a spatula, stir bananas into the batter to combine evenly.
  • Add half of the pecans (and any salt on the pan) to the batter and mix to combine evenly throughout.
  • Add batter to the loaf pan, smoothing when complete.
  • Sprinkle the remaining pecans evenly on top.
  • Place in the pre-heated oven and bake until a wooden skewer inserted in several areas around the center comes out clean; 1 hour to 1 hour and 20 minutes.
  • Tent with foil if it starts to darken too much on top before the middle is baked through.
  • Remove from the oven; allow the bread sit in tin for 10 minutes before removing and setting on a rack to cool for 60 minutes.
