The richness in this reduced fat banana bread is from buttermilk, not butter, so it has 1/4 the saturated fat

DRY INGREDIENTS:
2 1/8 cups (250 grams) whole wheat flour (white spring wheat has a milder taste than traditional red wheat)
1/2 cup (60-grams) walnuts, chopped (optional)
1/2 tablespoon baking powder (double-acting)
1/2 tablespoon baking soda
1 teaspoon (3.4-grams) chia seed (optional, but improves omega-3:omega-6 ratio)
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon ground allspice (optional)
WET INGREDIENTS:
1 3/4 cups (454-grams) very ripe bananas (about 5 to 6 sweet, brown speckled ones, 1 1/2 pounds before peeling)
1/2 cup (110-grams) brown sugar (or 2/3 cup raw sugar such as Turbinado or Sucanat, which has a lighter caramel taste)
1/2 cup (124-grams) buttermilk (reduced fat is fine)
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon (16-grams) melted butter (or canola oil)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 teaspoon (3-grams) kosher sal (or 1/2 teaspoon table salt)
