Best Banana Bread

Bountiful Kitchen

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour 2 medium size loaf pans.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together. Add eggs, and beat mixture until smooth.
  • Mash banana, add to the butter/sugar egg mixture. If the bananas are very soft, just add to the bowl, the paddle or beaters will mash the banana.
  • Mix in buttermilk and vanilla until blended well. Turn off mixer.
  • Combine all of the dry ingredients into a bowl, and pour all at once into the wet mixture.
  • Fold together, just until wet and dry ingredients are incorporated. Don’t over mix. I use a large spoon or spatula for this step. No need to use the mixer. See notes.
  • Bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean.
