Ingredients:

1/2 cup butter
110g
2 eggs
100g
3 bananas
360g
1/3 cup buttermilk
72g
2.50 cups all-purpose white wheat flour
310g
1 tsp baking powder
5g
1 tsp baking soda
5g
1 tsp cinnamon
3g
1/3 cup lemon juice
63g
1/2 cup almonds
60g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch (23x13 cm) loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
2. Prepare Dry Ingredients:
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and ground cinnamon. Set aside.
3. Mash Bananas:
- In a small bowl, mash the bananas until smooth with a fork or potato masher. Set aside.
4. Cream Butter and Eggs:
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Beat in the eggs one at a time until well combined.
5. Combine Wet Ingredients:
- Add the mashed bananas, buttermilk, and lemon juice to the butter mixture. Mix until well combined.
6. Incorporate Dry Ingredients:
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
7. Add Almonds:
- Fold in the chopped almonds gently until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
8. Pour Batter into Pan:
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly.
9. Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs. If the top begins to brown too quickly, tent a piece of aluminum foil over the top.
10. Cool and Slice:
- Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and serve.

Tips:

- Ensure the bananas are ripe for maximum sweetness and flavor.

- Allow your butter to reach room temperature before mixing for a smoother batter.

- Mix the dry ingredients separately before combining with wet ingredients to avoid overmixing.

- You can substitute almonds with walnuts or pecans if you prefer a different nutty flavor.

- Check the bread with a toothpick inserted into the center; it should come out clean when the bread is done.

With these easy-to-follow steps and handy tips, you'll be able to bake a perfect Honey and Banana Bread that is moist, flavorful, and irresistible. Enjoy this homemade treat fresh out of the oven or toasted with a spread of butter. Happy baking!
