Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Grease and flour two standard 9x5 loaf pans and set them aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, or the bowl of a stand mixer, add the sugar and butter. Beat until well creamed. Add the eggs and beat until fluffy. Gradually add the flour beating on slow speed until well mixed. Note: the batter will be thick at this point.
- In a small bowl, add the baking soda to the buttermilk and stir together well. With the mixer at low speed, slowly add the buttermilk to the sugar, flour, and egg mixture.
- In a small bowl, mash the bananas thoroughly. I use a fork to do this, but you can use a potato masher if you'd like.
- Add the mashed bananas to the batter. Mix at low speed until well incorporated. Stir in nuts, salt, and vanilla.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pans.
- Bake at 300 for approximately 1 hour or until a tester inserted near the center comes out clean. Remove loaves from the oven and cool on a rack for 15 minutes. Turn the loaves out on the rack and let them cook completely.
Notes
- If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can easily make a substitute using whole milk and lemon juice or white vinegar. For each 1/4 cup of milk, stir in 3/4 teaspoon of lemon juice or vinegar. Let stand for 5 minutes before adding to the recipe.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days. You can also refrigerate it to extend its freshness for a few days.
- You can freeze the whole loaf or cut it into slices and freeze them individually.
