Miso Banana Bread
- 5 medium overripe bananas
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 stick unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup white miso
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 2 large eggs
- Preheat the oven to 350.
- Butter and flour a 10-by-5-inch metal loaf pan.
- In a bowl, using a fork, mash 4 of the bananas until chunky.
- In another bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
- Using a stand mixer fitted with the paddle, cream the butter, sugar and miso at medium speed until fluffy, about 5 minutes.
- At low speed, slowly add the buttermilk, then beat in the eggs 1 at a time until incorporated.
- Beat in the mashed bananas; the batter will look curdled.
- Add the dry ingredients and mix until just blended.
- Scrape into the prepared pan.
- Slice the remaining banana lengthwise and arrange the halves on top of the batter side by side, cut side up.
- Bake for 90 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool on a rack for 30 minutes before turning out to cool completely.
