I am always trying to find new uses for brown bananas and buttermilk. I always seem to have an abundance of these two ingredients. Josh doesn’t like bananas, but I still buy them in large bunches. I have good intentions to eat them, but they always turn on me too quickly. I also buy the large container of buttermilk because it is a better deal. I usually use the little bit I bought it for and wait until it is about to expire, then everything we eat involves buttermilk.

Buttermilk Banana Bread With Cream Cheese Icing

In fact I swear, she purposefully doesn't eat bananas when I buy them just so they'll get overripe. -- Knowing that overripe bananas inevitably lead to a loaf of fresh-baked banana bread appearing in our kitchen.

Banana bread is one of the first things my daughter and I baked together, way back when she wasn't even tall enough to reach the counter top without a step stool's assistance. And she's loved baking tender loaves of the stuff with me ever since. I'm not sure if it's banana bread's wonderfully rich banana flavor and sweetness, or her fondness of baking it together with me that make her love it so much.

And when we do get in the kitchen to bake up a tasty loaf of banana bread? This Buttermilk Banana Bread recipe is our go-to.

Buttermilk Banana Bread

Buttermilk brings tenderness and moistness to baked goods it's in, like our fluffy baked buttermilk pancakes, family-favorite oatmeal muffins, and classic fluffy buttermilk biscuits, of course. And it's no different with this Buttermilk Banana Bread.

One of the secrets to flavorful banana bread that's loaded with rich, sweet banana taste is using very overripe bananas to make it.

Banana

Bananas that are nice and unblemished yellow may be perfect for snacking on, but they're not perfect for making banana bread. They haven't yet developed enough sweetness and strong banana flavor to bring a really nice banana flavor to the bread.

The best bananas for making banana bread are those that have gone past their prime. In fact, the very definition of overripe is too ripe or past its best. And some definitions even go so far as to say beyond ripeness toward decay. So when reaching for those bananas to make your bread, you want those that have gone past their best for snacking -- because that is exactly what makes them the best for bread!

The bananas you see in the photo that still have a yellow background on their peels, dotted with lots of brown spots, are the earliest in the overripe scale I use to make banana bread. These bananas are quite spotted with brown, and have long streaks of brown along their sides that can be seen if you look closely at the two spotted bananas on the left side of the photo. These bananas will produce a very yummy loaf of banana bread, indeed.

But there's something that will produce an even more yummy, more richly-flavored loaf of banana bread. And that's the blackened banana you see on the left side of the photo laying across its spotted counterparts.

Banana Buttermilk Bread Recipe

To whip up a loaf of Buttermilk Banana Bread, start by mashing some beautifully overripe bananas with a fork. -- They'll mash really easily. When baking banana bread with my daughter, this mashing is her favorite part of the recipe to do.

Then pour in the recipe's buttermilk, and mash the bananas again with the buttermilk to form a kind of soupy mixture. Set this aside while you prepare the rest of the bread's batter.

Buttermilk

The rest of the banana bread batter is pretty straightforward. The base of its creamed mixture is butter and brown sugar. Using brown sugar instead of granulated sugar brings a wonderful depth of flavor.

Perfect Buttermilk Banana Bread

Once the butter and brown sugar are creamed together, add in a couple of eggs and a touch of vanilla extract. Then, alternately mix in the bread's dry ingredients and the mashed banana-buttermilk mixture.

Finally, fold in a cup of chopped pecans. And bake the loaf up until it's cooked through and golden brown, which takes about an hour.

Or, omit the nuts altogether if you're not a fan of nuts in your banana bread. The loaf will still bake up well and taste delicious.
