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 oven to 350°F. Grease a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan; set aside.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, sift or whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside.

Step 3

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

Step 4

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

Step 5

Pour batter into prepared loaf pan.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Bake until the bread is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 50-60 minutes. Do not overbake (my bread is usually done in about 50 minutes).

Step 8

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