Light As a Feather Banana Bread image

I've been making this super moist bread for 14 years. My son used to enjoy this spread with peanut butter almost every day of his toddler years! Beating the egg whites separately and baking at a lower temperature give this bread a spongy texture that's "light as a feather."

I wasn't sure about the idea of using buttermilk in banana bread, but it actually turned out really well. The bread was so moist and flavorful.

The only thing I would change about this recipe is to add a little more sugar. I found it to be a bit too bland.

I love that this recipe uses all-purpose flour instead of bread flour. It makes the bread so much lighter.
