Penzey's Recipe

Ingredients

• 1/2 Cup butter, softened (1 stick)
• 1 Cup white sugar
• 4 eggs
• 4 very ripe bananas, mashed with a fork
• 1 Cup buttermilk
• 2 tsp. PURE VANILLA EXTRACT
• 4 Cups flour
• 4 tsp. baking soda
• 1 tsp. PENZEYS CINNAMON
• 1 tsp. salt

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°. Cream together the butter and sugar. Add the eggs and mix well. Add the remaining ingredients and mix well. Pour into 2 greased bread loaf pans (4.5x8.5” would be preferable—5x9” will work but the loaves don’t rise as high). Bake for 1 hour at 350° and let cool slightly before removing from the pans and cooling on a wire rack.
