- 3/4 cup butter
- 1 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 1/2 cup mashed bananas
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)
DIRECTIONS
Cream together butter and sugar. Blend in bananas, eggs, and vanilla. Stir together alternately flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Add buttermilk. I use the powdered buttermilk in a can.
Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan. Place wax paper on the bottom. Bake at 350 degrees F for 1 hour. Reduce heat to 325 degrees F and bake for 15 minutes more.
Note: Bananas should have a black skin to be really ripe.
Note: Alternately, you can make 4 small pans (size 705). Bake at 350 degrees F for 45 minutes. Each one holds 1 1/2 cup with nuts or 1 1/3 cup without nuts.
