Banana-Pecan Whole Wheat Loaf

This Banana Pecan Wheat Bread made good french toast because the bread is not cake like, which makes it easy to slice in a uniform manner.

This is a bread machine recipe from Fleischmann’s Yeast, although the link to this particular recipe seems to be gone .

While I was not crazy about the loaf in itself (not sweet enough for a banana bread in my own opinion), it did make some very good french toast.
