Amazingly moist and full of flavor banana bread! There is a way around buying a whole quart of buttermilk for one use in this recipe. Pour a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar into a measuring cup then fill up to the half-cup mark before starting the recipe. The vinegar sours the milk and is a great substitution for buttermilk. This banana bread recipe is very straightforward and easy. The only thing that might be a little strange is the buttermilk; most people don’t tend to have that on hand and don’t want to but a whole container for just a 1/2 cup in a recipe. The alternative is to make the banana bread with sour milk. Not hard, you just add a tablespoon of vinegar to your measuring cup, then fill the rest of the way with milk and let it curdle for a few minutes. But more on the sour milk in a minute!

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts

  • 1/2 tsp. salt

  • 1 tsp. baking soda

  • 2 cups flour

  • 1/2 cup buttermilk or sour milk

  • 3 mashed bananas

  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste

  • 2 eggs

  • 1 cup sugar

  • 1/2 cup butter, softened

Method

  • 01
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cream butter and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer; add eggs and mix well.
  • 02
    Add sour milk (or buttermilk), vanilla and bananas to mixture. Add dry ingredients to creamed mixture and blend well. Bake in 1 loaf pan (I like this one!) for 70 minutes.
  • 03
    Adjust your time down if you're baking in small pans. The smaller the pan, the shorter the cooking time. Muffins in this recipe take about 25 minutes.
  • 04
    I suggest checking your bread every 5 minutes after 25 minutes to see if a toothpick comes out clean if you aren't using a standard loaf pan. Once the toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, the bread is done!
