The LAST Banana Bread Recipe You Will EVER Need

Don't throw out those "too ripe" bananas!! Throw them in the freezer. They make the BEST banana bread. At our house we rarely eat the last one or two bananas on the bunches we buy. We like bananas when they are still a little green. So needless to say, I have a freezer full of frozen bananas! My husband loves banana bread...so I pulled out my bananas from the freezer the other day and let them thaw on the counter. (Warning...this process is disgusting looking!) Went to get my banana bread recipe and couldn't find it!! So I began my internet search for a new one and found this one (with a few of my own adjustments) that sounded interesting since it had sour cream in it instead of milk. Now I'm glad I lost my recipe...this is seriously the best banana bread I have ever had!



Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • dash of vinegar
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
  • 3-4 medium bananas, (or about 1 cup mashed)

Directions

Preheat over to 350. Grease 3 mini loaf pans (which I prefer) or one 9 x 5 loaf pan. In a large bowl cream together butter and sugar. Add the eggs, vanilla and vinegar and mix well. In a separate bowl combine flour, baking soda and salt. Stir into the butter mixture until smooth. Fold in the sour cream and mashed bananas. Spread evenly into pan(s). Bake in preheated over for about 1 hour or until toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool in pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!!
