3 1/2 cups flour
4 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups mashed ripe bananas
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
2 2/3 cups chopped pecans
1 (12-oz.) package butterscotch morsels
Preheat oven to 350°. Generously grease and flour 2 (8×4-inch or 9×5-inch) loaf pans. In a small bowl, combine flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. In a large bowl, beat bananas, sugar, butter and eggs until mixture is creamy. Add flour mixture alternately with milk, beating only enough to blend. Stir in 2 cups of pecans and butterscotch morsels. Spoon batter into prepared pans. Sprinkle with remaining 2/3 cup of pecans. Bake in preheated oven about 60 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted into center comes out clean. Check after 35 to 40 minutes of baking. Cover tops with foil if loaves are browning too quickly. Cool in pan on a wire rack 15 minutes. Remove from pans and cool completely on wire rack before slicing.
