Mom's Banana Bread
My mom's banana bread recipe is truly the best banana bread I have ever had. It's incredibly moist, full of flavor and very easy to make! Once you make this banana bread recipe, you will never make another recipe again!
Ingredients
- 10 bananas (frozen, then thawed)
- 1 cup butter (softened to room temperature)
- 3 cups sugar
- 4 eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 2/3 cup buttermilk
- 2 tsp baking soda
- 3 cups flour
- cinnamon sugar (optional)
Instructions
- Several hours before making banana bread, take frozen bananas out of the freezer and allow to thaw completely.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugar.
- Add in eggs, vanilla and buttermilk and mix well.
- Add flour and baking soda and mix until well incorporated.
- Peel the bananas over the mixing bowl and dump into dough mixture. Mix until bananas are well incorporated.
- Spray 3 loaf pans generously with cooking spray and sprinkle a few tablespoons cinnamon sugar on the bottom to prevent the bread from sticking.
- Pour the banana bread dough into the loaf pans dividing it evenly among the 3 pans.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes. Check frequently during baking. If you notice the top is becoming overly done or crisp while baking, cover the tops with a sheet of aluminum foil.
- When the timer is up, check to see if the bread is ready by inserting a toothpick into the middle of the bread, if it comes out clean, the bread is done.
- When the bread is done, remove from oven and let it sit for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire cooling rack.
- Serve and enjoy!
