Ingredients:

- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ¾ cup sugar
- ¼ cup unsalted butter or coconut oil, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 ½ cups mashed ripe bananas (about 3)
- ¼ cup buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup chopped walnuts or chocolate chips (optional)
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray.
- Whisk flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt and baking soda in a medium bowl.
- Beat sugar and butter (or coconut oil) in a bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high until well combined. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each adding. Add banana, buttermilk and vanilla; beat until combined. Add flour mixture; beat on low speed until just combined. Fold in walnuts (or chocolate chips), if using.
