Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and prepare a loaf pan by greasing and flouring it to prevent sticking.

In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy.

4
In a separate mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
5
Gradually incorporate the flour mixture into the banana mixture, alternating with the buttermilk. Start and end with the flour mixture, stirring until just combined to avoid over-mixing.

Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
