In a separate bowl combine the butter and the brown sugar.

Pour in the buttermilk and the mashed bananas, continue mixing till smooth.

Add in the diced kiwi fruit, once mixed add in the flour mixture and blend. Do not over mix.

Pour banana mixture into two well greased loaf pans with a little flour dusted on the bottom. Bake in a preheated 350F oven for 55-60 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.If you are using a heat thermometer you want it to read between 180F to 185F. Allow to cool in the loaf pans for 10 minutes before removing and cooling on a wire rack.
