We made this Banana Bread from a recipe in our ward cookbook (thanks Amanda!) and it is the best banana bread I have made yet!
Ingredients:
1 1/2 c. sugar
3/4 c. butter
2 eggs
1/4 tsp. salt
2 c. flour
1/2 c. buttermilk
1 tsp. baking soda
3 very ripe bananas, mashed
1 tsp. vanilla
Directions:
In a large bowl, cream sugar and butter. Add eggs; set aside.
In a separate bowl, combine salt and flour; set aside.
Dissolve baking soda in buttermilk. Add flour mixture and milk mixture to butter mixture and mix well. Add bananas and vanilla. Pour into a well greased loaf pan. Bake at 300 for 1 1/2 hours or until a toothpick comes out clean.
This recipe was originally published on Somewhat Simple in July 2009
About Stephanie
can I sub the buttermilk for regular milk? I have non fat and Vitamin D
I am not sure- I’ve never done it. Since me and baking don’t mesh well and I feel like the odds are already stacked against me for some reason, I tend to follow the recipe word for word to avoid complete disaster!
That looks so wonderful. Just pinned it — I’ll have to try it soon!
I’ve heard you should not substitute milk and buttermilk. However you can make your own substitute, by putting a tsp or tbls (can’t remember) of vinegar or lemon juice to the milk and let sit for 5 min.
YUM -turned out great! Thanks!
1/2 tbls then add the milk for buttermilk substitution
