2 cups mashed bananas (6–8 bananas depending on size)
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt

2. Grease and flour 3 loaf pans (I prefer Pyrex pans)
3. Cream together:
1 cup butter, 3 cups sugar, and 4 eggs in electric mixer
4. In separate bowl mix together flour, baking powder, and salt – stir together
5. Alternately add dry ingredients and buttermilk to creamed mixture till well combined.
6. Once ingredients are combined add mashed bananas and vanilla to mixture and beat on low speed till completely mixed.
7. Pour mixture into your three prepared loaf pans dividing batter equally betwee them.
8. Bake in preheated oven for 1 hour and 40 minutes till toothpick inserted comes out clean.
