Ingredients:
1/2 cup sweet unsalted butter
1 cup granulated sugar
1 (6 ounce) jars banana baby food
3 over ripe bananas, mashed
1/2 teaspoon lime juice
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons buttermilk
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon banana extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
Directions:
Mix together sugar and butter in a microwaveable dish and cook on HIGH heat just long enough for it to soften up- maybe 30 seconds, but not to melt it completely.
Remove and stir to combine.
Mix together baby food, over-ripe bananas, lime juice, eggs,vanilla,extract, and buttermilk.
Mix in the butter mixture gradually, so as not to cook the eggs.
It will look a little curdly from the lime juice- this is normal and will go away upon baking.
Combine all dry ingredients together in a large bowl, then add the wet mixture and stir with a wooden spoon just enough to combine the ingredients and moisten them- pressing out any big lumps with your spoon (don’t overmix).
Pour into a greased and floured loaf pan (9×5″) and bake in a preheated oven at 350 F (180 C) for about an hour or until a toothpick tests clean.
Let cool completely before serving or it will fall apart.
