When I was little, I had an Aunt that used to visit, and would always make an incredible banana bread. It was my job to lick the bowl :). I was much to young to ever think about asking for the recipe. So now, many, many years later, I'm still looking for that illusive recipe.....until now. I think I found it this morning. I can only tell you that after licking the bowl......I felt like a little girl again. This bread is so very light and flavourful. Not surprising really.....it's from Bonnie Stern. I don't think I've ever been disappointed in any recipe of hers. Hope you enjoy this as much as I am.....right now. Ingredients:
1 cup banana, mashed |
1/2 cup buttermilk |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 cup butter, soft |
1 cup brown sugar |
1 egg |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
1 1/2 cups flour, i prefer cake and pastry |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350*.
2. In a small bowl combine bananas with buttermilk and baking soda.
3. In a medium sized bowl beat butter with brown sugar until light. Beat in egg and vanilla.

5. Add flour to butter mixture alternately with buttermilk/bananas beginning and ending with flour.
