Salted Maple Banana Bread

Directions

  1. 1Cream softened butter and both sugars together.
  2. 2Add your mashed banana and mix until combined.
  3. 3Add your eggs and vanilla then mix again. The butter will split. Don’t worry!
  4. 4Whisk your flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl.
  5. 5Combine your wet and dry ingredients.
  6. 6Add your buttermilk half at a time mixing thoroughly after each addition.
  7. 7Pour into your lightly sprayed and parchment covered loaf pan.
  8. 8Bake at 325 degrees until deeply golden and firm to the touch (200-205 degrees internal temp).
  9. 9Remove from oven and immediately pour maple syrup on top. The maple syrup will absorb quickly so pour and distribute with a pastry brush in small sections.
  10. 10Top with flaky sea salt and allow to cool completely before enjoying.
