Best Ever Banana Bread

Oven: 350
Ingredients:
1 C butter
2 eggs
1 C Sugar
4 Ripe bananas
1 tsp vanilla
4 Tbls buttermilk
2 C flour
1tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda

Cream butter sugar, add eggs one at a time
Add sugar, bananas, vanilla & buttermilk
Sift dry ingredients and add to above mixture
Line 2 loaf pans-9X5X3 with parchment and grease sides
Bake for 45-50 minutes, until bread pulls away from the sides and tester comes out JUST clean. It is good if it is a little under done.

Syrup: 6 TBls butter, 10 Tbls dark brown sugar, 5 Tbls milk
Mix together in a small saucepan until syrup forms
If using nuts add 1 cup roughly chopped toasted pecans to syrup and spread over baked bread. If not using nuts divide the syrup between the two loafs and pour over warm bread. ( I did one with and one without-with is better is nuts aren’t an issue for anyone.)

If using nuts run under the broiler for a minute or two: watch closely as it will burn easily.
