3. 3

   Remove from the oven but don't turn off the oven.

   When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut in half and scoop out the flesh into a large bowl.

5. 5

   Peel the bananas and add them to the bowl along with 1 stick butter and the honey.

6. 6

   Season with salt and beat vigorously with a wooden spoon until everything is well combined and the mixture is fluffy.

7. 7

   Spoon into a shallow 2-quart baking dish; smooth the top.

8. 8

   Use your fingers to rub the remaining stick of butter, the brown sugar, flour and pecans in a bowl until the mixture is combined.

9. 9

   Sprinkle over the sweet potatoes and return to the oven until the topping is golden brown, about 20 minutes.
