Total Time: 1 hr 15 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 1 hr

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup sweet unsalted butter
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 (6 ounce) jar 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

Recipe

• 1 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.
• 2 remove and stir to combine.
• 3 mix together baby food, over-ripe bananas, lime juice, eggs,vanilla,extract, and buttermilk.
• 4 mix in the butter mixture gradually, so as not to cook the eggs.
• 5 it will look a little curdly from the lime juice- this is normal and will go away upon baking.
• 6 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).
• 7 pour into a greased and floured loaf pan (9x5") and bake in a preheated oven at 350 f (180 c) for about an hour or until a toothpick tests clean.
• 8 let cool completely before serving or it will fall apart.
