- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1½ teaspoon Baking powder
- 1½ teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- ½ cup Unsalted butter softened
- 2 large Eggs room temperature
- 1 cup Buttermilk room temperature
- 5 Very ripe bananas mashed
Preheat oven to 325ºF degrees.
Prepare two loaf pans with non-stick spray and parchment paper slings.
Whisk flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda together, set aside.
3 cups All-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon Kosher salt, 1½ teaspoon Baking powder, 1½ teaspoon Baking soda
In a separate bowl, cream sugar, and butter until light and fluffy. Mix in eggs, one at a time, then add the mashed bananas.
1 cup Granulated sugar, ½ cup Unsalted butter, 2 large Eggs, 5 Very ripe bananas
Add dry ingredients and buttermilk, alternating until incorporated, ending with the the dry. Do not over mix.
1 cup Buttermilk
Bake in prepared 8x4 loaf pans for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Watch carefully, all ovens are not the same.
This recipe calls for an 8x4-inch loaf pan, which produces a tall loaf. You can also use an 8 1/2x4 1/2-inch loaf pan, producing a slightly shorter bread. Since the pan is a bit larger, the bake time is shorter. A 9x5-inch pan will yield an especially short but still delicious bread.
Baking times vary so start checking the bread a few minutes before the suggested baking time.
