I'm generally fairly loyal to this banana bread recipe {one of my most favorite foods, it turns out}. However, after discovering our fridge void of sour cream the other week, we searched the web & found another prime contender for "Best Banana Bread Ever". I just put it in the oven.Banana Bread
3 or 4 ripe bananas smashed
1/3 cup melted butter
1 cup sugar (can easily reduce to 3/4 cup)
1 egg, beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon baking soda
Pinch of salt
1 1/2 cup of flour
No need for a mixer for this recipe. Preheat the oven to 350°F. With a wooden spoon, mix butter into the mashed bananas in a large mixing bowl. Mix in the sugar, egg, and vanilla. Sprinkle the baking soda and salt over the mixture and mix in. Add the flour last, mix. Pour mixture into a buttered 4x8 inch loaf pan. Bake for 1 hour. Cool on a rack. Remove from pan and slice to serve. {Oh- and I ALWAYS add chocolate chips to banana bread.}
1 teaspoon baking soda

I love to use my mini loaf pans for any bread recipes. I actually don't even own normal-sized loaf pans. These are fun though- good for smaller servings, treats to friends, etc.
Oh- And for lunch today, we had this again. That's the 3rd time this week. We haven't gotten sick of it yet.

I need to try BOTH recipes because I love banana bread!
I don't know which one is my favorite- they are both so good (especially with chocolate chips). Try the sour cream one first maybe-it's super moist & really easy.
Two things-
You MUST splurge and get the Demarle pans ...no greasing, no cleanup. Given that I just said that, however, a GOOD pan from WS always works well.
Secondly - I'm a big fan a Banana bread too - being partial to the one with sour cream. Remember that you can easily substitute applesauce for the butter in either recipe...all or part.
