This easy banana bread recipe is everything you want in a simple bread. A moist loaf made with sweet bananas, a hint of cinnamon, and loads of flavor baked to perfection in under an hour.
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and spray a 9x5 loaf pan with non-stick spray. Set aside.
To a small bowl, whisk together the baking soda and buttermilk. Set aside.
To a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, flour, cinnamon, and salt.
To another large bowl, whisk together the eggs and melted butter.
Stir in the buttermilk mixture and vanilla extract. Then, stir in the mashed banana.
Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and stir until just combined and you don’t see any more flour mixture.
