My sister, Amy, made Buttermilk Banana Bread today and she shared the recipe with me. So, of course, now I’m sharing it with you!
The original recipe is from Mel’s Kitchen Cafe. I love her site and you should definitely check it out!
So I couldn’t think of a song that would go with Buttermilk Banana Bread, so I decided I use wasn’t using my imagination…which led me to the song “Imagination” sung by Ella Fitzgerald.

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour 1 large pie pan. (You can use loaf pans if you like. I just like using a pie pan.) Prepare topping in a small bowl and set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add eggs, bananas, buttermilk and vanilla until the batter is well mixed. Add flour, baking powder, salt and soda. Mix until well combined.
- Pour batter into greased and floured pie pan. Sprinkle topping over top of batter. Use as much or as little as you like.
- Bake for 50-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
