For an extra touch, sprinkle the tops of the loaves with coarse sugar before baking. If you don't have buttermilk, you can make a substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice to a liquid measuring cup and then filling it with milk to the 1-cup line. Let stand for 5 minutes before using. Ripe bananas are key to the best flavor and moisture. The spottier, the better! Store the cooled banana bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
