Silly Monkey Oatmeal Buttermilk Banana Nut Bread
You see, dear reader, it’s because in elementary school some kids on the bus gave me the nickname “Julianna Bobana the big fat Banana” and it stuck.
Also did you know that there are over 1000 varieties of bananas? True story! They come in all different colors and sizes.
Although, if you live in America then you probably know of approximately one variety of banana- the Cavendish banana. It’s the bright yellow one you find in grocery stores for about 79 cents a pound. The Cavendish has bunches that grow three meters above the soil (they are a fruit, but are actually an herb as well), with a shape that makes them easy to pack, and a beautiful color to boot.

I’m pretty sure the fact that the Cavendish banana is significantly less flavorful than other varieties wasn’t considered a major problem when they were chosen as the mass production fruit of America way back when, and since we’ve not got other choices I suppose we are perfectly fine with that.
However I visited an island in Samoa last year and they had different banana varieties and heavens to betsy they were delicious! So now I look for other banana varieties whenever I’m at the grocer. Try it out!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!
The Perfect Banana Bread Recipe
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!
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!

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.
Unbelievably Moist Banana Bread
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.
One of the secrets to flavorful banana bread that's loaded with rich, sweet banana taste is using very overripe bananas to make it.
Buttermilk Banana Bread With Cream Cheese Icing
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.
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.
Gluten Free Banana Nut Bread
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.
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.
The Best Banana Bread
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.
So when you're looking to enjoy those overripe bananas in a loaf of tasty banana bread, give this Buttermilk Banana Bread recipe a try.
