Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
- 2 large eggs (room temperature)
- 1 cup buttermilk (or substitute with milk and lemon juice)
- 2 1/4 cups very ripe mashed bananas (about 5 medium)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 300°F. Butter and line two 9×5-inch loaf pans with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. If using nuts, mix them in now.
- In another bowl, cream together sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, followed by the mashed bananas.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture while alternating with buttermilk. Mix just until combined.
- Pour batter into prepared pans and bake for about 1 hour or until golden brown. Check doneness with a toothpick; it should come out clean.
