I'm not big on cooking and it can be very trying when you have three kids asking you, "what's for breakfast? what's for lunch? what's for dinner?" over and over and over again. I'm just telling you this so you'll know that if I post a recipe it has got to be easy and very good! That's exactly what this recipe for banana bread is. Be sure to use very ripe bananas and the flavor will be even more spectacular. It makes 3 loaves and freezes very well too.
Banana Cream Bread
Makes 3 loaves.
Preheat oven to 325.
Grease and flour 3 loaf pans.
1 1/3 cup oil
3 cups sugar
4 eggs
6 ripe mashed bananas
1 cup sour cream (I've used fat free and haven't found that it makes any difference)
1 Tbsp vanilla
1 1/2 tsp salt
Mix until smooth, then add:
4 cups unbleached flour
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
Mix just until blended - do not over mix.
Divide into loaf pans, filling 2/3rds full. Bake for 40 - 60 minutes until top is lightly brown and a toothpick in the center comes out clean. Let cool for about 5 minutes before turning out onto cooling racks. Enjoy!
