For a richer flavor, try using browned butter instead of melted butter. Add 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans for extra crunch and nutty flavor. If you don't have buttermilk, you can make a substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to 1/3 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using. Make sure your bananas are very ripe for the best flavor and sweetness. Store leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
