Mom's Banana Bread

I had some bananas on my counter that were extra ripe, so I decided to make some banana bread! This recipe is super easy and delicious. The secret ingredient is the sour cream -- it makes it so moist! Mmm-mm.

Mom's Banana Bread

1 cup Bananas
1/2 cup Nuts (optional)
1/2 cup Sour Cream
1 1/2 cup Sugar
1/2 cup Butter or Margarine
2 Eggs
1 tsp. Vanilla
1 1/2 cup Flour
1 tsp. Baking Soda
1 tsp. Salt

1. Mix bananas, nuts and sour cream in a separate bowl.

2. Cream the sugar, butter and eggs in a mixer. Add the banana mixture and vanilla. Add in sifted flour, soda and salt. (I use half white flour, half super flour.*)


3. Pour batter in a greased loaf pan.

4. Bake for 50-60 minutes at 350 degrees. Makes one large loaf.


*Super flour, as defined by this book, is made by filling a one cup measuring cup with 1 Tbsp soy flour, 1 Tbsp wheat germ, 1 Tbsp brewer's yeast, and then topping off with wheat flour.
