My favorite banana bread recipe. I love that there is no added oils or fats. Sometimes I sub self-rising flour for the flour, baking soda and baking powder. -
I had a few bananas on my counter that were getting pretty ripe that I needed to use up and a pint of buttermilk that was close to expiring so i searched zaar for a recipe to use both ingredients and I found this recipe. I can't believe how moist and dense this bread turned out. Really delicious bread. The whole family enjoyed it. A definite repeat in our house. Thank you! -
Wonferful banana bread! One of the best that I've tried! I don't think I've ever made banana bread with only brown sugar. I like the fact that there is no oil or butter in this, yet it is very moist and tasty! This was one of the easiest recipes I have made on Recipezaar! Thanks for posting this great recipe!

I'm a retired grandma who loves to try new recipes. I also want to preserve some of our family's favorite recipes and some of the recipes I inherited from my Mother and Grandmother so my children will have them. I love to cook (but not everyday if I can help it) so I like to cook things that give us left-overs. Also, my hubby takes lunch to work five days a week, so I try to cook things that will heat-up in the microwave at his work. I love to knit, read, bird-watch, tinker in the garden and I am discovering old movies. I am quite fond of cats, and sometimes they appear in my recipes - but not as ingredients :-).<img img src=http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/PACsticker-Adopted.jpgsrc=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/IWasAdoptedfall08.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket>
