It’s wonderful served warm, straight from the oven or toasted the next day with a pat of butter. Ease, versatility, and taste – a definite triple threat!

Ingredients:
– 3 ripe bananas, mashed
– 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
– 1/2 cup softened unsalted butter

– 1 tsp baking soda
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
– 1/2 tsp salt

2. In a bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

3. Add in the eggs, one at a time, and keep beating after each addition.

4. Incorporate the mashed bananas and vanilla extract; mix well.

5. In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.

6. Gradually add this dry mix to the banana mixture, alternating with buttermilk. Start and end with the dry mixture.

7. Fold in the chopped walnuts if using, and stir until just combined.

8. Pour into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top.

9. Bake for about 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

10. Let the banana bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
