Banana Bread

I wish that I had a great story about how banana bread is awesome, and I made it when I was a little kid or how I took it to an old grandma while she was sick, but no.... just a boring little banana bread that actually turned out quite delicious. I have always felt that I'm a better baker than a cook... so this is more of my thang! Well here is what you will need for this recipe

3 ripe bananas (brown like you want to throw them away)
1/2 cup butter softened (room temperature)
1 cup white sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 and 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup sour cream (the absolute key!!!)
1/2 teaspoon salt


1. Mix all dry ingredients together in a bowl


2. Mash bananas with a fork


3. Cream butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla together in a mixer
4. Mix in dry ingredients adding a little at a time.


5. With a rubber spatula fold in sour cream and bananas


6. Pour mixture into a greased bread pan


7. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour OR until a toothpick comes out clean



This turned out wonderful!!! I really was shocked that I could make something like this. Cut off a slice and serve it with some butter on it! Wow... I guess my grandpa in law used to put a slice of cheese on it. I didn't dare go that far even though I'm passionate about cheese!! Best dishes my friends, and please leave your comments!
