Buttermilk Banana Bread (My favorite Recipe)

YIELD: 1 LARGE LOAF PAN(From melskitchencafe.com)

BUTTERMILK BANANA BREAD

PREP TIME 20 MINUTES

 

COOK TIME 50 MINUTES

 

TOTAL TIME 1 HOUR 10 MINUTES

INGREDIENTS

•  1/2 cup butter, softened
•  1 1/2 cups sugar
•  2 eggs
•  1 cup mashed bananas (I use about 3 average sized bananas)
•  4 tablespoons buttermilk (here is a guide for making your own buttermilk)
•  1/2 teaspoon vanilla
•  1 3/4 cups flour
•  1 teaspoon baking powder
•  1/4 teaspoon salt
•  1/8 teaspoon baking soda

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Grease and flour 1 large loaf pan (9 1/4 X 5 1/4-inch) or whatever combination of pans you'd like (several commenters have said this recipe works great made into muffins or smaller loaf pans).
2. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar together. Add eggs, bananas, buttermilk and vanilla until the batter is well mixed. Add in the flour, baking powder, salt and soda. Mix until well combined. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake at 350 degrees for 50-55 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

NOTES

Often times, I'll decrease the sugar to 1 cup, increase the bananas to 1 1/2 cups and the bread still turns out extremely moist and delicious!
