Recipe View 10 mins Let the banana bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. (10 minutes)

For extra flavor, toast the nuts before adding them to the batter.
If you don't have buttermilk, you can easily make sour milk by adding 1 teaspoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to 1/3 cup of milk. Let it sit for a few minutes before using.
To prevent the top from browning too quickly, tent the loaf pan with aluminum foil during the last 15-20 minutes of baking.
Ripe bananas are key to this recipe, the riper the banana, the sweeter and more flavorful the bread will be.
