HOW TO MAKE BUTTERMILK
HOW CAN I MAKE GLUTEN FREE BUTTERMILK BANANA BREAD?
HOW TO MAKE BUTTERMILK BANANA BREAD
- Start by mixing your dry ingredients together, ensuring everything is well incorporated.

- Mix your wet ingredients and bananas into your dry ingredients gradually.
- Pour your banana bread into a non-stick pan, or spray a non-stick spray before hand.
BAKING YOUR BANANA BREAD
WHAT SIZE LOAF DO I USE?
I prefer using smaller loaf pans. My favorite are 3×5 aluminum pans you can find at your grocery store in the paper goods isle. These bake quicker allowing the bread to have a nice crisp crust but not over done on the outside. I find the bigger the pan is the longer the bread has to cook causing a dryer over done crust. The small aluminum pans also are great for sharing with friends.
CAN I MAKE THESE INTO MUFFINS?
ABSOLUTELY! I frequently will make muffins out of this recipe, or I’ll do some small loaves and muffins. switch it up, the kids will love it!
HOW LONG DO I BAKE BANANA BREAD?
This will depend on what size bread pan you have put your batter in. For muffins about 15-20 minutes. Smaller loaves like 3×5 aluminum pans about 30 minutes. For 8in pans about 45 minutes and for 9in+ allow 50-60 minutes. To test out your bread if you press down on the top of your bread and springs back it is done. If you press down and it depresses and stays depressed that means your bread is still doughy inside.
CAN I ADD CHOCOLATE CHIPS?
HECK YES! you don’t even need to ask. Add your favorite brand and flavor. It will be delicious. I’d recommend 12 oz bag would be plenty!

Obsessed! Probably best banana bread I’ve ever made. I added one teaspoon of cinnamon and one teaspoon of honey. I did only 1 cup and 1/4 of sugar instead of 1 and a 1/2 and I did only 1/2 cup of butter. It turned out perfect and moist! definitely added this to my favorite recipes ❤️

I had my own recipe of banana bread, but this one is the coolest! It is my friend’s birthday in two days, she is a sweet teeth, and she is a real fan of banana bread, but I cook it very often, so I wanted to make something special for her. This recipe costs every minute spent on cooking it, though the plate will be empty in 15 minutes))) I have never trued to use buttermilk for that. Looks so appetizing. Sometimes I add nuts or some other spices to banana bread, it’s almost universal. And, of course, very-very tasty!
