Steps

1Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Butter two 8.5 x 4.5-inch loaf pans. (Butter generously to ensure no sticking.)
2In a stand mixer, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
3Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda and salt.
4With the mixer on low, add the eggs one at a time, beating after each addition. Add the vanilla, buttermilk and bananas.
5Add the flour mixture in two additions, and mix until just combined. Divide batter between the two prepared pans. Bake for approximately 1 hour.
6Remove from oven and turn loaves out onto cooling rack immediately. Let cool.
