Versatile Buttermilk Bread - Banana or Zucchini image

I got this recipe from my sister-in-law while I was searching for a moist banana bread recipe years ago. She said the buttermilk makes all the difference. After trying a handful of different recipes - I am inclined to agree! The original recipe is for banana bread. I loved it so much I also altered it to make zucchini bread too! This recipe is one of those throw everything in a bowl and mix recipes - which is why I love it. It also freezes very well. **If you don't have buttermilk - plain yogurt can easily be substituted. Use 1/2 cup yogurt with a splash of milk.

Tips:

  • Buttermilk is essential to this recipe; it imparts a subtly tangy flavor and helps to tenderize the crumb. If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • The type of sugar you use in this recipe will affect the final product. Brown sugar will produce a moister, richer loaf, while granulated sugar will result in a lighter, more airy loaf. You can use a combination of the two sugars to achieve a balance of flavors and textures.
  • Be sure to measure the flour correctly. Adding too much flour will result in a dry, crumbly loaf. To measure the flour properly, spoon it into the measuring cup and then level it off with a knife.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will develop the gluten in the flour, resulting in a tough, dense loaf. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the bread at a high temperature for the first 10 minutes. This will create a crispy crust. Then, reduce the temperature and continue baking until the bread is cooked through.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing and serving. This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Buttermilk bread is a versatile bread that can be enjoyed in many different ways. It's perfect for sandwiches, toast, or simply slathered with butter. It can also be used to make French toast, croutons, or bread pudding. No matter how you choose to enjoy it, buttermilk bread is sure to be a hit.
