Buttermilk Banana Bread

Basic banana bread you can sweeten with sugar or allulose. This recipe makes 1 large loaf or 4 mini loaf pan loaves (3x5). This serves anywhere from 12 to 24 if you cut small slices. I used 4 little loaf pans and cut each loaf into 6 pieces.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (250 grams)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ teaspoon cinnamon (optional) optional
  • 1 cup granulated sugar or 1 ⅓ cups allulose (200 grams sugar )
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened (114 grams)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract or 1 ½ if using allulose
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature at room temperature
  • 2-3 large ripe bananas, mashed to make 1 (240 grams)
  • ½ cup buttermilk, room temperature
  • 1 cup walnut pieces

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven 350°F. Grease and flour an 8 ½ by 4 ½ inch pan or four mini loaf pans (around 3x5).
  • Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Make sure all the ingredients are very thoroughly mixed at this point because the batter is thick and it's hard to mix without overbeating once the liquid is added. So really whisk the dry ingredients thoroughly.
  • Combine the softened butter and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer and beat until creamy. Scrape sides of bowl and add the eggs one at a time, beating just until blended. Beat in the vanilla
  • Add the flour mixture and the buttermilk alternately, mixing with a heavy duty scraper until blended. Lastly, fold in the mashed bananas until evenly blended.
  • Stir in the walnuts (if using).
  • Transfer batter to loaf pan (or pans) and bake for about 60 minutes (test it after 60) for large loaf or 35 to 40 minutes for small. Check at 35 minutes.
  • Let cool on a rack for 10 minutes. Loosen edges with a knife and let cool for another 30 minutes, then invert from pan and let cool completely.

Notes

The calorie count is for a thick slice (about 2 ½ oz) made with allulose.  With sugar, it's closer to 245 per slices.
