A moist, dense banana nut bread that owes its richness to buttermilk and whole wheat flour. You’ll never bake banana bread with regular milk again!
1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Butter and flour your bread pan.
2. Peel and mash the bananas until creamy. Some lumps are ok.
3. Chop walnuts, saving a few whole nuts to decorate the top of the loaf.
4. Combine dry ingredients in a medium bowl: flours, baking soda and powder, salt, nutmeg, and walnuts. Set aside.
5. In a large bowl, gently whisk the eggs. Add in the brown sugar and buttermilk.
6. Melt the butter in a microwave-safe container and add to the wet ingredients. Mix until combined.
7. Add in the bananas and the dry ingredients in 3 alternating batches, stirring until just combined.
8. Pour batter into bread pan, decorate with leftover nuts.
9. Bake at 350 degrees for 55-60 minutes, or until crust is brown and a toothpick/knife comes out clean. If bread starts to brown too much, cover with aluminum foil.
10. Let cool and slice in!
Note: if you do not have whole wheat flour on hand, use 2 cups all-purpose flour.

Banana Bread without the dry edges? I have got to try this… sounds absolutely nummy.

My husband loves banana bread, and I happened to have real live buttermilk in the fridge (a rare thing), so I made this for him. We both love it! The most amazing thing is, it doesn’t have any dry edges like most banana breads. Usually, they have to bake so long to cook the middle that the edges get overly done and dried out. Not this one. It baked beautifully and is very tasty.
