Observation:
1. This loaf is so very moist and thick that I can hardly call it banana bread. It's more like banana pudding. But hubby recognizes it as banana bread.
2. I love the taste of this loaf, even though it's so moist and unlike bread.
3. If I do it again, I would either use just 1 banana or drop the buttermilk completely. The batter is just too thin this time.
