Equipment

  • 9x13 casserole dish
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Measuring Cups

Ingredients

  • 2 8.5- ounce box Jiffy cornbread muffin mix
  • ¾-1 cup mashed banana about 2 banana
  • 1 cup buttermilk 1 cup whole milk + 1 tablespoon white vinegar 10 mins

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350F, grease a 9x13 casserole dish with non-stick spray and set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl add all ingredients and mix well.
  • Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out of the center with moist crumbs.
  • Cool slightly and serve with maple syrup for breakfast or brunch, or with savory flavors as a side.

Notes

  • Better Banana Flavor: Use overripe bananas to better the flavor and moisture.
  • Don’t Overmix: Stir just until combined to keep the loaf soft.
  • Check Early: Oven times can vary, so start checking for doneness around 25 minutes.
  • Cool Before Slicing: Letting it cool helps the loaf set and slice cleanly.
  • Make your Own Buttermilk: Combine 1 cup of milk with 1 tablespoon white vinegar and allow it to sit for about 10 minutes.
  • Refrigerator: Store slices between parchment paper to prevent sticking, then tightly in plastic wrap and place in an airtight container for up to 2-3 days.
  • Freezer: Wrap individual slices in parchment and aluminum foil and store for about 1 month. Thaw in the fridge overnight before serving.
  • Reheating: Warm slices gently in the microwave or toaster oven.
