The other day I had a pile of overripe bananas sitting on the counter. I remembered seeing a recipe for buttermilk banana bread on Penelopesoasis.com that sounded quick and delicious so I printed it out and whipped it up! I made a few adjustments to the already perfect recipe, it turned out so well that I had to share it with you! Be careful if you decide to try this, or the original, recipe. It is quite addictive! Our family ate the whole pan in one night *blushes*.
Packed with bananas and white whole wheat flour, the thick batter turns into a dense, nutty bread that is amazing plain, or topped with a pat of sweet cream butter.
