Shop2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon table salt
1/2 cup butter, room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
4 ripe, nasty looking bananas, smooshed up real good
1/3 cup buttermilk
1 cup walnuts, coarsely chopped and toasted
1 tablespoon of minced, candied ginger
1 cup shredded, sweetened coconut
1 cup aronia berries
1 Tablespoon pure vanilla extract
In a medium bowl whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda and table salt. Set aside.
Cream together butter and sugar until white and fluffy; about three minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, until fully incorporated. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the mixture alternating with buttermilk. Start and end with dry ingredients. Stir in mashed bananas, coconut, vanilla, 1 cup aronia berries, the ginger and walnuts. Lightly grease or line with parchment (as I did) two 8 x 4 loaf pans. Fill both pans with batter and throw a handful of aronia berries on top. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 45 to 55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out with only a slight amount of crumbs on it.

Very good with the sweetness of the banana bread and tartness of the aronia berries. I would definitely make this again!
