The combination of ripe bananas, brown sugar, and white chocolate creates an irresistibly sweet and comforting treat, while the buttermilk and light sour cream add a delicious tang and keep the bread tender.

Ingredients:

3 bananas
360g
1/2 cup butter
110g
1 cup buttermilk
230g
2 eggs
100g
1/2 cup self-raising flour
72g
1/3 cup all-purpose white wheat flour
40g
1 cup brown sugar
230g
1 tsp cinnamon
3g
1 cup white chocolate
230g
1/3 cup light sour cream
72g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Your Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare the Bananas:
- Peel the bananas and place them in a large mixing bowl. Mash them well with a fork until smooth.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients:
- Add the melted butter, buttermilk, beaten eggs, and light sour cream to the mashed bananas. Mix well until all ingredients are fully combined.
4. Mix in Dry Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the self-raising flour, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
5. Add White Chocolate:
- Fold in the chopped white chocolate or chips gently into the batter.
6. Prepare the Baking Pan:
- Grease a 9x5 inch (23x13 cm) loaf pan and pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly.
7. Bake:
- Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
8. Cool:
- Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Serve:
- Once cooled, slice the banana bread and enjoy! This bread can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for a few days, or refrigerated for up to a week.

Tips:

- Choose ripe bananas: Use bananas that are overripe with brown spots for the best flavor and sweetness.

- Do not over-mix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix until just combined to avoid a dense loaf.

- Check doneness with a toothpick: Insert a toothpick into the center of the bread; if it comes out clean or with a few crumbs, the bread is done.

- Let it cool: Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps it set and makes it easier to slice.

- Store properly: Store the banana bread in an airtight container to keep it fresh for a longer time. It can also be frozen for up to three months.

This super-easy buttermilk banana bread is a fantastic recipe to have in your baking arsenal. It's quick to make, incredibly moist, and bursting with flavor. Whether you enjoy it as a snack, breakfast, or dessert, this banana bread is sure to become a favorite in your household. Happy baking!
