Servings: 12 servings
Equipment
- 1 loaf pan
Ingredients
- 3 medium very ripe bananas
- ½ cup butter melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- ½ cup buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 ¾ cups all purpose flour
- ½ cup walnuts or pecans chopped, optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 9×5 loaf pan with nonstick baking spray. Set aside.You may also line the bottom and up the short sides with a strip of parchment paper to help easily remove the banana bread after baking. Spray again with baking spray.
- In a medium bowl, mash the bananas with a fork, leaving them slightly lumpy. Set aside. (If using an electric hand mixer or stand mixer, you can add them to the sugar mixture below without mashing first, if desired)
- In a large bowl stir together the butter and sugar. Mix in the eggs and vanilla and stir until smooth.
- Add the buttermilk, mashed bananas, baking soda, and salt, and stir until blended.
- Stir in the flour until just incorporated. Fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans if using.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean.
- Cool in the pan for 15 minutes, and turn over carefully to cool on a wire rack.
Notes
Room Temperature: Store banana bread in an airtight container or tightly wrapped in plastic for 4-5 days. Keep in a cool, dry place, as humidity and warmth can cause the bread to mold.
Refrigerator: Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week to extend freshness; wrap tightly to prevent drying out.
Freezer: Cool completely and freeze slices or the whole loaf by wrapping it in plastic wrap a couple of times and placing it in a labeled freezer-safe bag or container. It will keep well for 3 months. Thaw at room temperature or gently reheat slices in the microwave.
