Prep time: 15 minutesCook time: 1 hour 5 minutesServes: 10
Ingredients
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2-3 bananas)
1/4 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the mashed bananas, buttermilk, and vanilla extract.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the banana mixture until just combined. If using, mix in the walnuts.
4. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for 60-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Store the banana bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
