This is the best banana bread recipe for ABM I've found yet. I've made it twice in the last 4 days. My 5 year old loves it!! The only tweaks I made was I left out the nuts, and because I don't keep buttermilk on hand, I used 1/3 cup + 1tbsp water and 1-1/2 tbsp buttermilk powder.

This turned out delicious! It was very simple to make and the bread was very moist. Thanks for sharing! Made for Gimme 5 tag.
