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 milk with 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 and lining with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. If using pecans, add them now.
  3. In another bowl, cream the sugar and butter until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in the mashed bananas.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients and buttermilk to the wet mixture, alternating until just combined—avoid overmixing.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared pans and bake for about 1 hour or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
