Best Banana Bread

You may already have a banana bread recipe, but after I tried this one, I have yet to go back to my old one. I think it's the secret ingredient! This is an all time favorite at our home.

1/2 Cup Butter at room temp.
1 Cup Sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup sour cream
2 tsp Vanilla
1 Cup very ripe bananas mashed--about 2 1/2 Bananas
Cream together then add:
1 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
Cream all together and pour into 2 greased loaf pans. We will add mini chocolate chips to one loaf and keep one plain. I have converted to mini chips for my bread and cookies--the best!!! Bake in preheated 350 degree oven and bake for 35-40 min.--longer if necessary. NOTE: Recipe actually says to bake for 1 hour, however I have never baked it near that long because it always burns. Plus I have dark coated pans rather than glass, but I still only cook it around 40 minutes. I thik all ovens heat differently, so just check and insert a toothpick to check for rediness. Turn onto a cooling rack.

Okay, I just made banana bread last night, but this recipe sounds so good that I hope no one eats bananas at our house all week so I can try this next week. It sounds good! Thanks Holly!

Yum, this sounds soooo good! Can't wait to try it. Any recipe that has sour cream in it is the best! Thanks for sharing.
