How To Make banana bread
-
1Move oven rack so that the tops of the baking pans will be in the center of the oven. Preheat oven to 350F.
-
2Grease bottoms only of 2 loaf pans, 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 x 2 1/2 inches, or one loaf pan 9 x 5 x 3 inches.
-
3Mix sugar and butter in large bowl. Stir in eggs until well blended. Add bananas, buttermilk, and vanilla. Beat until smooth.
-
4Stir in flour, baking soda and salt just until moistened. Stir in nuts. Pour into pans.
-
5Bake 8 inches loaves about 1 hour, 9 inch loaves about 1 1/4 hours, or until toothpick inserted in center of loaf comes out clean. Cool in pan 10 minutes.
-
6Loosen sides of loaves from pans, remove from pans and place top side up on a wire rack. Cool completely, about 2 hours, before serving.
-
7Wrap loaves tightly and store at room temperature up to 4 days, or refrigerate up to 10 days. Also freezes well.
-
8Variation; Stir 1/2 cup chocolate, peanut butter or butterscotch chips into the batter for additional mouthwatering flavor combinations.

9No buttermilk on hand? In an emergency you can mix 1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice or white vinegar and enough milk to make 1/2 cup. Or you can substitute 1/2 cup of plain yogurt.
