Banana Bread Recipe With Buttermilk

This easy Buttermilk Banana Bread Recipe always gets rave reviews! Some say it is the BEST banana bread recipe out there. If you have brown bananas and buttermilk to use up, make this banana bread. You won’t be disappointed.

I am always trying to find new uses for brown bananas and buttermilk. I always seem to have an abundance of these two ingredients. I love making chocolate banana bread and my favorite buttermilk drop biscuits, but this Buttermilk Banana Bread recipe is also a favorite. I love that it uses both ingredients!

Buttermilk

Buttermilk and bananas are meant to be friends. They team up in this recipe to create a very moist loaf of bread. This banana bread is light in flavor and color. It reminds me of a very moist banana pound cake because of the rich, buttery crumb. It is SO good warm with a little butter. Some say it is the BEST banana bread recipe they have ever made. It is definitely a favorite at our house!

The Best Banana Bread

If you are pondering what to do with the overripe bananas on your counter and the buttermilk in your refrigerator, make this easy quick bread. Your house will fill with a wonderful aroma and you will have a tasty snackor delicious breakfast. Banana bread is ALWAYS a good idea.

You can make muffins or mini loaves with this banana bread recipe, just reduce the baking time. For muffins, I recommend 18 to 24 minutes. For mini loaves, I recommend 25 to 35 minutes. Every oven is different so check early to be safe. The muffins or bread is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

The bread also freezes well. I always like having a loaf in the freezer for a rainy day…or any day! Wrap the cooled bread in plastic wrap and aluminum foil (or put in a freezer bag) and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw and slice!

Blueberry Buttermilk Banana Bread — Mommy's Kitchen

I think I live with a family of monkeys. We go through a lot of bananas in this house. A LOT. Like 5+ bunches a week. And we use them all, for the most part. In parfaits, in smoothies, on oatmeal, just plain, what have you. Friends who come to our house can never believe that we really do eat the huge pile of bananas we have in the fruit basket.

Once in a while, it does catch up with us, and we end up with some very ripe bananas. When that happens, it’s time to make the family buttermilk banana bread.

Brown Sugar Buttermilk Banana Bread By Missrachelphipps

We must have made dozens and dozens of loaves over the years, and after some time, I have updated his recipe to suit our needs. I’ve replaced his call for Crisco with butter. While Crisco does allow for a light and flaky crumb, I don’t particularly like the hydrogenated oils. I’ve also found that buttermilk works very nicely. And I upped the banana content.

The next time your monkeys leave you with ripe bananas, give our buttermilk banana bread a try. You’ll go bananas over it.

Brown Butter Buttermilk Banana Bread

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 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.

Buttermilk Banana Nut Bread Cheery Kitchen

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

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!
