Fresh Cherry Banana Bread
Equipment
- 2 8 inch Loaf Pans or you can do it in (1) 9 inch Loaf Pan
- 1 Large Bowl
- 1 tsp Measuring Spoon
- 1 Cup Measuring Cup
- 1/2 Cup Measuring Cup
- 1 Fork for Mixing or Mixer
Ingredients
- 1 Cup Sugar I used Truvia but regular sugar works just as well
- 1/2 Cup Butter Softened
- 2 Eggs
- 1 Cup Ripe Bananas Mashed
- 1 Cup Ripe Cherries Chopped
- 1/3 Cup Buttermilk
- 1 Tsp Vanilla
- 2 1/2 Cups All-Purpose Flour Shifted if clumpy
- 1 Tsp Baking Soda
- 1 Tsp Salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 Degrees. Mix together sugar and butter in large bowl until smooth.
- Add in eggs one at a time, until well blended.
- Add bananas, buttermilk, and vanilla. Blend until smooth. Stir in Cherry Chunks until incorporated.
- Stir in flour, baking soda, and salt just until moistened. Pour into pans. If using 8-inch pans divide the batter between pans and they may only be half full.
- Bake 8-inch loaves for about 45 minutes to 1 hour. I start checking it at the 45-minute mark. Bake 9-inch loaf for about 1 hour. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool 10 minutes. Remove from pans and place top side up on wire rack. Cool completely, about 2 hours, before slicing.
