  I like to add chopped walnuts or pecans to this.

  Irresistible Banana Bread

  Rich buttermilk, crunchy nuts and flavorful, ripe bananas make this banana bread tops.

  1¼ cups sugar
  ½ cup butter or margarine, softened
  2 eggs
  1½ cups mashed very ripe bananas (3 to 4 medium)
  ½ cup buttermilk
  1 teaspoon vanilla
  2½ cups Gold Medal® all-purpose flour
  1 teaspoon baking soda
  1 cup chopped nuts, if desired
  1 teaspoon salt

  Move oven rack to low position so that tops of pans will be in center of oven. Heat oven to 350°F. Grease bottoms only of 2 loaf pans, 8 1/2×4 1/2×2 1/2 inches, or 1 loaf pan, 9×5x3 inches.

  Mix sugar and butter in large bowl. Stir in eggs until well blended. Add bananas, buttermilk and vanilla. Beat until smooth. Stir in flour, baking soda and salt just until moistened. Stir in nuts. Pour into pans.

  Bake 8-inch loaves about 1 hour, 9-inch loaf about 1 1/4 hours, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes. Loosen sides of loaves from pans; remove from pans and place top side up on wire rack. Cool completely, about 2 hours, before slicing. Wrap tightly and store at room temperature up to 4 days, or refrigerate up to 10 days.

  In a small bowl, mix together chopped pecans, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, and cinnamon.
