Preheat the oven to 350°F. Brush the 9×5-inch loaf pan generously with cooking oil. Set it aside.
Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl.

Beat this mixture at high speed until they are thoroughly combined.
Add mashed bananas and mix again. Stir in almond extract.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients.
Pour in buttermilk, and mix until all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
Keep scraping the sides of the bowl as you mix.
