Step-by-Step Instructions for Fluffy Buttermilk Banana Bread
  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and grease two 9x5-inch loaf pans with unsalted butter and line the bottoms with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and ½ teaspoon of baking soda until well combined.
  3. In a larger mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup of granulated sugar and ½ cup of softened unsalted butter using an electric mixer on medium speed.
  4. Add 2 large eggs one at a time to the creamed mixture, then mash 3 overripe bananas and fold them into the mixture.
  5. Gradually alternate adding the dry mixture and ½ cup of buttermilk to the banana mixture, stirring gently until combined.
  6. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pans and bake for approximately 55-65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  7. Once baked, cool the banana bread in the pans for 10-15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
