I've always had the best luck with recipes that use buttermilk. And I
always use bananas that are so ripe they are more like a sticky goop than a
banana. The skins are completely black. I did this trick over the
holidays: I took some banana liqueur and drizzled a nice half-ounce onto
each loaf. Then I wrapped them in plastic wrap and a couple days later they
were incredibly good. Very moist and full of flavor. OK, maybe it was a
crutch, but it sure tasted good.
