Banana Nut Buttermilk Cream Cheese Bread**

Recipes »  Bread  »  Banana Bread

This makes a moist, dense, flavorful loaf -- lots of requests for it at work

 "Fantastic! I will make this again and again. I used a mini loaf pan for the excess dough. Filling it first leaves you with the right amont of dough for the regular loaf pan. The little one was done first, so we were eating before the actual loaf was ready and cooled. Hmm, what a treat! Briefly roasting your chopped walnuts or pecans in the oven while it is preheating is also a great tip. * I have recently used a 10" tube pan as the picture shows and this worked out so much better.

Original recipe makes 12
1/2 cupButter or margarine
1 1/2 cupsgranulated white sugar
1 1/2 cupsbananas; 3 medium bananas, mashed
2 Eggs; well beaten
1 teaspoonVanilla extract
2 cupsAll-purpose flour
1 teaspoonBaking soda
3/4 teaspoonSalt
1/2 cupButtermilk
or 1/2 cup milk; soured with 1 teaspoon vinegar
3/4 cupWalnuts; chopped
4 ounceCream cheese; softened

Banana Nut Buttermilk Cream Cheese Bread** Preparation

Preheat oven to 325F. Cream butter, cream cheese and sugar together thoroughly. Blend in bananas, eggs and vanilla. Sift flour, baking soda and salt together. Add to banana mixture, alternating with buttermilk and mixing thoroughly after each addition. Add nuts and gently mix. Pour batter into greased and floured loaf pan (min. size 9x5). Bake for 1 1/4 hours, or until done. Yields 1 loaf.

Note: I've found sometimes I have too much batter for the pan, and have left a bit out; have learned to bake the loaf pan on a cookie sheet so that if any spills over it will be caught before hitting the bottom of the oven!

    Very good as is. If making in 9x5 loaf pan, will have to cook a bit longer than suggested if using all the batter. Excellent cooled with cream cheese.

    Pretty sweet bread. Didn't really taste a difference from regular banana nut bread. Had extra batter, so I made cupcake size at 30-35 mins

    I love this recipe! I also have modified it a bid by substituting coffee creamer, (any flavor you wish) for the buttermilk.

    I doubled this and it is a generous recipe. Yummy the first day and even better the next! This is going to be the only one I use from now on.

    I'm making this for the third time! Love this bread. I use 4 bananas and make 2 loaves, one in a smaller loaf pan. Also I use pecans and toast them in the oven before adding to dough.

    This is a fantastic recipe for bananas that are ready to be retired. I substituted the walnuts with golden raisins after replumping them. Everybody that's tried it has wanted the recipe.

    Family loved this bread. Bananas can't ripen fast enough to make the bread again.

    I followed the recipe exactly and the result was amazing. My husband doesn't even like bananas and he had this for breakfast four days in a row. The bread is big put didn't run over the sides of my pan. It is super moist and fluffy.

    This was ok. Not something I'd rush to make again, but it used up my l leftover cream cheese and buttermilk so for that purpose I would consider. I've had banana bread recipes that I enjoyed much more.

    It did make a lot of dough. I used an extra large bread pan
