Jeremy Johnstone:
Giving away (one of the) secrets to one of my trademarked baked treats that many love
Jeremy Johnstone:
The "secret" ingredients roasting with the nuts is this varied collection + a dash of cinnamon
Jeremy Johnstone:
And when they are done and ready to be chopped, they look like this. Important to not chop before they're roasted!
Jeremy Johnstone:
Of course after you've put that much detail into the pecan roasting, you don't use a food processor to chop them
Jeremy Johnstone:
Secret #2 revealed: beat the (not cold!) eggs and sugar together for 8-10 minutes until very thick!
Jeremy Johnstone:
When the beating is done, the mixture is almost white in color
Jeremy Johnstone:
Then you add the overly ripe bananas and the other ingredients (which will stay secret for another day)
Jeremy Johnstone:
Finally mix in the roasted pecans, flour, salt, and baking powder and end up with this
Jeremy Johnstone:
Butter and dust the pans like you would for any bread your baking
Jeremy Johnstone:
And add the batter! From L->R: with pecans, pecans and chocolate chips, plain, and then one with extra pecans
Jeremy Johnstone:
And here's another part
Jeremy Johnstone:
Here's part of the result of the baking tonight
