Ingredients
  

Wet Ingredients
  • 3 medium Overripe Bananas Use bananas with dark, speckled peels for natural sweetness.
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter Contributes moisture and richness; can be swapped with oil for a dairy-free version.
  • 2 large Eggs Use flaxseed meal mixed with water for a vegan option.
  • 1/2 cup Buttermilk Yogurt mixed with milk works well as a substitute.
Dry Ingredients
  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour Provides structure and texture; no direct substitutions noted.
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar Substitute brown sugar for a deeper flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder Ensure it's fresh for best results.
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda Must be paired with acidic ingredients like buttermilk.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt Enhances overall flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, mash the overripe bananas with a fork until smooth.
  3. Add the melted unsalted butter to the bananas and mix well. Then add the eggs and buttermilk, stirring until combined.
  4. In another bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
  6. Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan and pour the batter in, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Baking
  1. Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  2. Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
