Moist Buttermilk Banana Bread

Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 9-inch loaf pan and set it aside for later use.

In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Make sure to stop the mixer and scrape the sides of the bowl to get all the ingredients well mixed.

Mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth, then add them to the mixing bowl. Beat the mixture until it's well combined.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Don't overmix the batter.

Add the buttermilk to the mixing bowl and mix until the batter is smooth. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.

Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean. Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes.

Transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely. Once the bread is completely cool, slice it and serve!
