1/2 Tsp. Baking Soda
1/2 Tsp Salt
1 Tsp Cinnamon
2 Eggs
1 Tsp Vanilla
1/3 Cup Canola Oil or Vegetable Oil
1/3 cup chopped pecans

3 Very Ripe Bananas / For Pumpkin Bread use 1 & 1/2 Cups of Pumpkin instead of Bananas ! This is about 1 SMALL can of pumpkin I use the whole can !

Grease 1 large bread pan or spray with baking spray. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Stir all dry ingredients together except pecans. Now add all the wet ingredients including bananas & or pumpkin & beat on low until combined. Beat on medium high to make sure ingredients are blended well. Stir in pecans. Spoon into your prepared pan. Top with the following topping. First sprinkle about 1/4 cup brown sugar. Sprinkle 1/4 cup chopped pecans over the sugar. Now sprinkle with cinnamon as much as you like. Bake 55 to 70 minutes until bread test done with the toothpick test.  You may substitute walnuts for pecans or raisins for nuts or even chocolate chips or coconut it is a very versatile bread !

                               Let bread cool 1/2 hour then dump out of pan to finish cooling! Mine slid right out. My oven to 1 & 1/2 hours to bake but like I say my oven is a SLOW oven !   
This is the Banana Version !

                                EspressYo'self Chocolate Toffee Espresso Bread                                                         To  the above bread recipe just make the following changes.
Instead of Pumpkin or Banana use ,
1 Cup Vanilla Yogurt
5 Heaping TBS of Instant Espresso or your favorite flavored instant coffee Diluted in 1/4 cup HOT water & stirred into the yogurt.
1 cup Chocolate Chips
1/4 cup Toffee Bits
I kept the pecans in this recipe.
Sprinkle on top of unbaked bread, Rolled Oats, Toffee Bits & Cinnamon as much as you like. Bake as directed per above recipe ! ENJOY!
