Quick and Easy Banana Bread

December 11, 2013

I love banana bread.  Besides my yummy protein bars and chocolate chip cookies, it’s my go to for a quick treat.  I’ve been making this recipe for 10+ years and I very rarely make any changes to it.  It’s just so good! 

This time, though, I added a little vanilla to see if it gave the bread a little different flavor, but I really didn’t notice a difference. I also tried whole wheat flour since I have quite a bit on hand, and actually really liked it!  I think the outside crisped up a bit more, which I love.  I think I’ll use the whole wheat flour more often.

Ingredients:
* 3 bananas, smashed
* 2 cups white or whole wheat flour
* 1 cup sugar
* 3 tablespoons buttermilk
* 1 heaping teaspoon baking soda
* 1 egg, unbeaten
* 1 tablespoon butter, room temperature, or oil (I prefer butter)
* 1 teaspoon vanilla (optional)
* 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional, I never put them in)

*Hint: If you don’t have any buttermilk on hand, you can mix 3 tablespoons of regular milk with about1 teaspoon of vinegar in a separate bowl, then add it to the bread mixture.

Directions:
* Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
* Lightly grease bread pan.
* Mix dry ingredients together in a large bowl.
* Add bananas, sugar, egg, buttermilk, vanilla to the dry ingredients and mix until just incorporated.
* Pour mixture into bread pan.  Don’t tap or smooth, it will naturally settle on it’s own.
* Bake for 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes, or until toothpick comes out clean.
* Cool in pan on wire rack.

I love this recipe because the outside is just a little crisp, but the inside is super soft.

Enjoy!

    Oooo… This sounds really good! I’m going to have to make this for my husband. He adores banana bread. 🙂

    I’m right there with ya – I LOVE banana bread. The bad thing is, my kids eat bananas like crazy, so we rarely have some to spare for bread LOL Great recipe – going to try it next time I can get some bananas leftover 😀

      Well I guess they’ll never get muscle cramps from lack of potassium right?! 🙂
      Good luck trying to save some bananas!

    I love banana bread. I’ve never made mine with nuts in it though. Also, I’ve never tried making it with buttermilk before… I wonder what that does for the flavour? I might have to give this a whirl!

    • Tiffany {A Touch of Grace} says: December 13, 2013 at 4:16 am

      Honestly, I never make it with the nuts either. I’m not a huge fan of nuts in bread, but I like to leave it as an option for those that do.
      Hope you have a fantastic birthday Jennifer!

    OOO! I like the idea of making it with wheat flour. I would venture to try with gluten free flour as well! yum and yum! I’ve never made bread but I pinned it to try it for later!

    • Tiffany {A Touch of Grace} says: December 13, 2013 at 4:17 am

      Yeah, I was surprised I liked it as much as I did. It’s really good with the wheat. I’ve never tried gluten free flour before; that may be my next adventure!
      Thanks for pinning Brittnei!
      xoxo
