Totally Terrific Banana Bread!

Happy Friday, ya'll!  While browsing my dear friend's blog this morning, I ran across the recipe that I'm about to share with you all, with her permission, of course!  She does not claim it as her very own, but one found in a cookbook many years ago....

 I thought the recipe looked "interesting" so I decided to whip a batch up. Let me tell you, it is really about the yummiest banana bread I've had, ever!

I'll bet you could add an extra banana for more flavor, some chocolate chips, peanut butter chips or chopped pecans and it would still be terrific!

The texture is light and fluffy and moist. Very soft and almost airy. You'll want to give it a try ASAP!  Definitely remember to "test" a slice while it's still warm out of the oven (with butter....), you know, to be sure it is ok to serve to the rest of your crew. ;)

Would love to know if you try this or any of the recipes I've posted!  YOUR feedback means south to me!

*Best Ever Banana Bread*

In a small glass bowl mix together 1 1/2 cups sour cream and 2 tsp baking soda. Let sit for 5 minutes 

In a large bowl combine 1/2 cup softened butter with 1 1/2 cups sugar until well combined. 

Add 3 eggs, one by one, until well combined.

Add 1 tsp vanilla, 1/2 tsp salt and 2 1/2 cups flour. Continue mixing until well combined. 

Add 3 (or 4) mashed bananas. Mix well. 

Fold in sour cream mixture. 

Pour equal amounts of the batter into two greased loaf pans. 

Bake at 350 for 50 minutes. Cool in pan for 10 minutes before removing to a rack to cool. 

Enjoy!
