Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F and spray a 13 x 9-inch baking pan with nonstick spray.

Step 2

Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt in a medium bowl.

Step 3

Beat butter, C&H® Light Brown Sugar and C&H® Granulated Sugar Easy Baking Tub in a large mixer bowl on medium speed until pale and fluffy; beat in vanilla. Add eggs one at a time and beat until combined.

Step 4

Combine banana and buttermilk in a small bowl. Reduce speed to low and add flour mixture in 3 additions, alternating with banana mixture (begin and end with flour mixture).

Step 5

Spoon batter into prepared baking pan and smooth with an offset spatula; tap pan sharply to reduce air bubbles.
