I really like this recipe for banana bread that I found and tweaked slightly. I’ve made it twice already and want to get the recipe down before I forget.

• 1/2 cup (8 Tablespoons) of soften unsalted butter.
• 1/2 cup of granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup of brown sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 3 overly ripe bananas (1 to 1-1/2 cups) mashed
• 1/4 cup of buttermilk
• 1 cup of all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup of spelt flour
• 1 teaspoon of baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon of salt
• 1 cup of finely chop toasted walnuts
• 1/2 cup organic raisins

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and grease and 4-1/2×9 loaf pan – I use a cast iron loaf pan and love the way the edges come out crispy
• Cream the butter and sugar together in a large bowl – add the buttermilk, eggs, vanilla and the mashed bananas – beat until just combined.
• In a separated smaller bowl whisk together the dry ingredients – flours, salt and baking soda.
• Mix the dry ingredients into the wet and fold until fully mixed.
• Add the optional raisins and toasted walnuts.
• Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and bake for 50-55 minutes – when a tooth pick comes out clean.
