Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

½ teaspoon baking soda

¼ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

1 ½ cups mashed banana (about 3 large bananas)

½ cup (1 stick) salted butter, melted and slightly cooled

½ cup granulated sugar

½ cup packed light brown sugar

¼ cup whole buttermilk, well shaken

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Topping: 2 tablespoons granulated sugar and ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan; set aside. In a medium bowl, sift or whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside.

Step 2

In a separate large bowl, whisk together mashed banana, melted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, buttermilk, egg, and vanilla extract.

Step 3

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined.

Step 4

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.

Step 5

For the cinnamon sugar topping, stir together the 2 tablespoons sugar and ½ teaspoon cinnamon in a small bowl. Sprinkle over the batter.

Step 6

Bake until the bread is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 50-60 minutes. If the top starts to get too dark before the inside is done, tent the loaf loosely with foil. Do not overbake (my bread is usually done in about 50 minutes).

Step 7

Remove from the oven, unmold from the pan, and cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
