1/2cupmilk + 1/2 tbsp vinegar OR 1/2 cup buttermilk OR buttermilk powder & water, according to instructions on the box
1tspcinnamon
Cinnamon Sugar Topping (optional)
1tspcinnamon
1/4cupsugar
Instructions
Preheat oven at 350 degrees.
Spray your loaf pans (I use Baker's Joy) or line your muffin tins with liners.
Mash bananas (I just use the back of a large spoon).
Sift all dry ingredients together (if you're using buttermilk powder like I do, add the powder to the dry ingredients) and mix together.
Cream butter and sugar (with a spatula or using a hand mixer). Be sure the butter is room temperature so it's easier to cream.
Add all wet ingredients except buttermilk to the creamed butter and sugar mixture.
This time mixing with a spatula or large wooden spoon, mix easily together half of the dry ingredients then half of the buttermilk (or water if you're using buttermilk powder). Repeat and do not over mix your batter.
Pour batter into loaf pan and/or muffin tins.
Sprinkle cinnamon and sugar mixture over the top of loaves or muffins before putting into the oven.
Loaves will take around 45-50 minutes and the muffins around 18-25 minutes.
Tips:
Buttermilk is very expensive (and I never use the whole container when I buy) so I buy buttermilk powder. I always mix the powder with the dry ingredients and add the water (amount according to container). Store the container in the refrigerator after opening.
