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 lemon juice)
  • 2 1/4 cups very ripe mashed bananas (about 5 medium bananas)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F. Prepare two 9×5-inch loaf pans by buttering them well and lining with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. If using pecans, add them now.
  3. In another bowl, cream the sugar and room temperature butter until light and fluffy. Gradually mix in the eggs one at a time, followed by the mashed bananas.
  4. Alternate adding the dry ingredients with the buttermilk into the banana mixture, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix gently to avoid overmixing.
  5. Transfer the batter into prepared loaf pans and bake for approximately 1 hour or until golden brown on top. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.
