Versatile Buttermilk Bread - Banana or Zucchini
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.

I can't believe I am the first to review this wonderful recipe. The ease alone of making deserves 5 stars. This came out so moist. I'm going to cut mine into slices and freeze them for easy breakfasts and snacks. Thanks so much for this recipe. The buttermilk does make the difference. Thanks!
