Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 cup buttermilk (or substitute with milk and juice of one lemon)
  • 2 1/4 cups very ripe mashed bananas (about 5 medium bananas)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F and prepare two 9×5-inch loaf pans by buttering and lining them with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. If using pecans, fold them in now.
  3. In another bowl, cream together the sugar and butter until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the mashed bananas.
  4. Gradually incorporate the dry mixture into the wet mixture while alternating with buttermilk until just combined.
  5. Pour the batter into prepared pans and bake for approximately 1 hour or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
