How to make the best banana bread? Simple! Follow my recipe. This banana bread uses only two bananas. It has a nice crisp crumb, yet it’s moist inside and very tasty.

Ingredients:

1/4 cup (60 gm) softened unsalted butter

1/4 cup (60 ml) oil (I used avocado oil)

1 cup (200 gm) granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1/2 cup (120 ml) buttermilk

1 tsp (5 ml) vanilla

2 cups (240 gm) all-purpose flour

1/2 tsp (3 gm) salt

1 tsp (5 gm) baking soda

2 medium sized very ripe bananas

Directions:

  1. Mash the two bananas coarsely with a fork. Set aside.
  2. Put butter, oil, and sugar in a bowl. Beat with an electric mixer. Cream the mixture until smooth (about 5 minutes)
  3. Add eggs one at a time, allowing to emulsify the mixture before adding the other egg. Mix with the cream mixture until completely incorporated. Set aside.
  4. In a bowl, sift the flour, salt, and baking soda. Stir with a whisk.
  5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Gently stir with a whisk until just combined.
  6. Put the batter in a loaf pan lined with parchment paper.
  7. Bake at 350 deg Fahrenheit for about 50-60 mins or until golden brown and skewer comes out clean after inserted in the bread.
