Instructions

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Grease two 9×5-inch loaf pans and line them with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. If adding nuts, incorporate them now. Set aside.
In another bowl, cream the sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Fold in mashed bananas until smooth.
Gradually mix in the dry ingredients with alternating portions of buttermilk until just combined—avoid overmixing.
Pour batter into prepared pans and bake for about 60 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
