I was really surprised to see I had never posted this recipe! I took a recipe that was not bad and made it perfect, at least in my opinion. This banana bread is moist inside, but with the brown sugar on top, crunchy on the outside. Sometimes I add mini chocolate chips or chopped nuts to the recipe just for something new, but you can make it plain as well. Good recipe to have as a staple in your recipe book!
Banana Bread
1 cup butter, softened
2 cups white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
4 eggs, well beaten
1 1/2 cups mashed bananas (about 4 average bananas)
8 Tbsps buttermilk
3 1/2 cups flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 Tbsp vanilla
dash baking soda
Cream butter and sugar together. Add eggs, bananas, buttermilk and vanilla. In a separate bowl mix dry ingredients. Add dry ingredients to banana mixture. Mix until combined. Divide batter into greased and flour bread pans, sprinkle with brown sugar and chopped nuts. Bake at 350 degrees for 50-55 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. This recipe makes two large loaves of banana bread.
