How to Make Banana Walnut Buttermilk Bread

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add 2 large eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  4. Mash 3 ripe bananas and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Add to the butter-sugar mixture and beat until smooth.
  5. In a separate large measuring cup, whisk together 1 cup buttermilk and 1 teaspoon baking soda. Let it fizz for a minute.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour and ½ teaspoon salt.
  7. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  8. Fold in 1 cup chopped walnuts.
  9. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  10. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. (Start checking at 50 minutes).
  11. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
