Directions:
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Crumble a parchment paper into a ball. Smooth it out and line a 9x5 inch loaf pan or a 4x8 inch loaf pan.

In Bowl #1, mix together mashed bananas, buttermilk and baking soda with fork or spoon.

In Bowl #2 (medium bowl or 2-cup measuring cup), stir together flour, baking powder.

In Bowl #3 (large bowl), use a spoon or whisk to mix butter and brown sugar together until well combined. Add egg and vanilla and whisk until smooth and creamy. Add banana-buttermilk mixture and mix well. Add flour mix in 3 parts, mixing lightly between each addition. Do not over mix. Just mix until flour is incorporated. Batter will be thick. Stir in optional add-in if using.

Spoon batter into parchment-lined loaf pan. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. When done, remove pan from oven and let cool for 10 minutes. Lift banana bread out by holding onto sides of parchment, then cool further.
