Serves: 2

Print this Recipe

Low-Fat
Prep: 15 min; Bake: 1 hr; Cool: 2 hr 10 min; 2 loaves, 24 slices each

Don’t throw away those bananas that are turning brown and soft. They’re just right for banana bread.


   1 1/4 cups sugar
   1/2 cup butter or stick margarine, softened
   2 large eggs
   1 1/2 cups mashed very ripe bananas (3 medium)
   1/2 cup buttermilk
   1 teaspoon vanilla extract
   2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
   1 teaspoon baking soda
   1 teaspoon salt
   1 cup chopped nuts, if desired


1. Move oven rack to low position so that tops of pans will be in center of oven. Heat oven to 350°. Grease bottoms only of 2 loaf pans, 8 1/2 X 4 1/2 X 2 1/2 inches, or 1 loaf pan, 9 X 5 X 3 inches, with shortening.

2. Mix sugar and butter in large bowl. Stir in eggs until well blended. Stir in bananas, buttermilk and vanilla; beat until smooth. Stir in flour, baking soda and salt just until moistened. Stir in nuts. Divide batter evenly between pans.

3. Bake 8-inch loaves about 1 hour, 9-inch loaf about 1 hour 15 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes in pans on wire rack.

4. Loosen sides of loaves from pans; remove from pans and place top side up on wire rack. Cool completely, about 2 hours, before slicing. Wrap tightly and store at room temperature up to 4 days, or refrigerate up to 10 days.

*Spreads with at least 65% vegetable oil can be used.
**If using self-rising flour, omit baking soda and salt.
