Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (cut in cubes)
  • 2 1/2 cups kefir or buttermilk
  • 2 large eggs (lightly beaten)
  • 4 medium bananas (sliced)
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 450°F with one oven rack placed in the center of the oven, and another about 6 inches below the broiler.
  • Prepare a (half-sheet sized) sheet pan by lightly spraying with baking spray and lining with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar.
  • Cut the butter into the flour using a pastry cutter, two forks, or a food processor until you have coarse crumbs.
  • Whisk together the kefir (or buttermilk) and eggs, and stir into the flour. Do not overmix, you should have some lumps.
  • Spread the batter into the prepared pan using an offsest spatula and very gently shaking the pan. Top with the sliced bananas.
  • Stir together the cinnamon and sugar and sprinkle about half of the mixture over the bananas. Place the sheet pan in the oven to bake for about 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes clean.
  • Sprinkle a little more cinnamon sugar on top and transfer to the broiler for a minute or two. Keep a close eye on it so that it doesn't burn!
  • Remove from oven, let it rest for a few minutes, then slice and serve with your favorite toppings!
