Prepare the lentil purée by adding the water and lentils into a small pot. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer for 45 minutes. Stir frequently. Cool and do not drain. Purée lentils with a blender or food processor. Purée should be the consistency of canned pumpkin.

Grease and flour 1 large loaf pan (9 1/4 X 5 1/4-inch). Set aside.

In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream butter and sugar together. Add eggs, mashed bananas, lentils, buttermilk, and vanilla until the batter is well mixed.

Let bread cool on a wire rack for 20 minutes. Loosen the bread with a knife and carefully remove from pan. Finish cooling on rack. Slice and serve once cooled.
