VERSATILE BUTTERMILK BREAD - BANANA OR ZUCCHINI

Versatile Buttermilk Bread - Banana or Zucchini image

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.

Tips:

Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your bread will be.
Shred the zucchini finely: This will help it distribute evenly throughout the bread and prevent it from becoming watery.
Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Let the bread cool completely before slicing: This will help it hold its shape and prevent it from crumbling.
