Buttermilk Banana Bread

Pin It

This recipe comes from the Chiquita Banana’s website, I was looking around for a more interesting banana bread recipe, googled “buttermilk banana bread” and up this came. I was really intrigued because it uses applesauce, mixed sugars and buttermilk. There are always over ripe bananas in this house, if I don’t have time to use them up, I freeze them whole in bags then defrost when it’s time to bake.

This is a very moist, dense banana loaf and it was scarfed up within a hour of it leaving the oven.

Ingredients For Buttermilk Banana Bread

2very ripe bananas, (peels should have brown spots), roughly mashed

1/2 cup Applesauce

1 large Egg, beaten

1 cup all-purpose Flour

1/2 cup granulated Sugar

1/2 cup Brown sugar

1tsp. Baking powder

1/2 tsp. Baking soda

1/4 tsp. Salt

1/2 tsp. Cinnamon

1/4 cup Buttermilk

Kick the tires and light the fires to 350 degrees F.

Grease and flour a loaf pan.

In a large mixing bowl combine the bananas, applesauce and egg, then set them aside.

In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, sugars, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon.

Add the dry mixture to the banana and then blend alternately with the buttermilk.

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 45 to 55 minutes.  The loaf is done when a toothpick/butterknife  inserted in the middle of the loaf comes out clean.

When the pan is cool enough to handle, remove loaf from the pan and cool on a baking rack.

And see if it makes it through the night, betcha it won’t! I was really impressed with this recipe, so I had to share. Enjoy!

Love,
