Ingredients

  • 3 Bananas mashed
  • 1/2 cup Butter melted
  • 3/4 cup Light Brown Sugar
  • 2 Eggs large
  • 1.5 tsp. Vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup Buttermilk
  • 2 cups Flour
  • 1 tsp. Baking Soda
  • 1/2 tsp. Salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a d 9x5 loaf pan and set aside.
  • In a stand mixer bowl, add melted butter and sugar. Beat for about 2-3 minutes until combined. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Add the mashed bananas to the bowl and beat until very well combined. Add the buttermilk and mix well.
  • In a small bowl, combine flour, baking soda and salt. Add the flour mixture to the banana mixture and mix just until it's all incorporated.
  • Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and bake at 350 for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Cool in the pan for about 30 minutes and then remove from pan and cool completely.

Notes

  • You can make buttermilk by adding 1/4 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to a mixing cup. Then add milk to make 1/4 cup. Stir and let sit for 5-10 minutes before adding to your batter.
