Buttermilk Banana Bread

By dlpedersen

Super moist and delicious. You can omit the nuts and add 1 cup dark choc chips (my favorite)or 1 cup of peanut butter chips, dried blueberries etc....

Ingredients

• 1 cup sugar
• 1 stick real butter, softened
• 2 lg brown eggs
• 1/2 cup buttermilk
• 1 tea spoons baking soda
• 1 tea spoons baking powder
• 1 tea spoons salt
• 2 cups all-purpose unbleached flour
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 3 mashed ripe bananas
• 1 cup Chopped walnuts (optional)

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 325*

Cream together sugar and butter.

Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition - I use a hand mixer.

whisk baking soda into buttermilk and add to mixture.

In a separate bowl mix together baking powder, salt and flour. Stir into creamed mixture. I use a wooden spoon for this part. You don't want to over mix.

Fold in walnuts or whatever you choose

Pour into 2 greased medium size loaf pans (I use Crisco or butter is good too). Not baking spray!

Bake at 325 for 45 min. Cool for 20 minutes before removing from pans
