Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups flour
  • 3/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup butter
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup buttermilk or 1/4 cup sour milk
  • 1 cup banana, very ripe and mashed (about 2 medium)
  • 1 -2 tsp banana extract (optional)
  • 1 cup walnuts, chopped (optional)

Directions:

  1. Combine flour, baking soda and salt and set aside. Cream butter with sugar until fluffy. Add eggs and buttermilk and mix well. Add flour mixture alternately with bananas, beginning and ending with flour. Stir in vanilla, banana extract (if using) and nuts (optional). Bake in a well greased 9 - 5 inch loaf pan at 350 degrees for 1 hour, or until a toothpick, inserted in center comes out clean.
  2. NOTE: If you don't have buttermilk on hand, make your own. To your measurement cup add about 1 tablespoon of white vinegar or 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Let it sit a bit and you'll have your substitute buttermilk. The banana extract is my own addition, this is a huge help if your bananas are not quite brown/ripe enough, it'll boost the flavor. As a matter of fact, I always us it even when my bananas are perfectly ripe. It's a definate must if you want your product to stand out.
