In a large bowl cream together the sugar and the butter; add eggs one at a time, beating after each addition.

I used whole wheat flour, demerara sugar & added 2 tbls flax seed meal & 1 tbls chai spice blend seasoning, and it is excellent! Next time I will try allspice, but you can take this already excellent recipe & bend it in many directions.

This banana bread had a really great flavour with the added buttermilk, I love the idea. My b/f absolutely loved it, but I would have liked it better if it was a little less sweet. It was likely my fault for being over sweet because I added a handful of chocolate chips instead of nuts. I think I would prefer doing half brown sugar and half white next time. I'll give it a try because I will definitely be making this again. It took an extra half hour to bake than the time given. It turned out fantastically moist. Thanks for the recipe!!

The only reason I am giving this 4 stars is that it rec'd mixed reviews from my household. Even though he liked this, my husband prefers the more bread-y texture of my regular recipe. But I absolutely love this recipe so much more! It is so moist, and very flavorful, the banana taste is excellent. I thought it was going to be too sweet, and it probably could use a little less sugar if you are looking to cut down, but it was very good as is.

This banana bread is FULL of flavor and extremely moist. It is absolutely perfect and there isn't a single thing that needs to be changed or added. If you are looking for a good, basic, unadultrated banana bread recipe, this is it!
