Heavenly Banana Bread image

I got this recipe from a wonderful friend who is a chef and cooking instructor in Canada. I love it because it is super-moist, and has intense flavor. In a test of 5 different banana bread recipes, this is the one my husband and neighbors liked the best.

Time 55m

Yield 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 -3 bananas, black ripe
1/3 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 cup dark brown sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 egg
1 1/3 cups flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla or 1 teaspoon dark rum (optional)

Steps:

  • Mash or purée the bananas and buttermilk until smooth.
  • Add the baking soda and mix.
  • This activates the baking soda and neutralizes the soda taste.
  • Cream the brown sugar and butter together until smooth.
  • Beat in the egg.
  • Add the banana purée and combine.
  • The mixture often appears curdled at this stage.
  • Add the baking powder to the flour; add gradually to the banana mixture.
  • Stir just enough to combine evenly.
  • Flavour with the extract.
  • Pour into sprayed or greased pans.
  • Fill the pans 2/3 full for even cooking.
  • Bake in a preheated 375°F oven until set in the centre.
  • A larger loaf pan will take about 45-50 minutes.
  • Reduce the cooking time for smaller pans.
  • Use a wooden skewer to test the centre.
  • Leave in the pans for 10-15 minutes before turning out.
  • Do not leave in the pans as the loaves sweat and become soggy.
