Kelly’s Banana Bread

With walnuts & chocolate chips

Plain

There is something comforting about a loaf of homemade bread and this banana bread recipe is something special! This is my Mom’s recipe and there is a different ingredient you’ll notice, sour cream. It’s a small quantity but it makes a big difference. This recipe makes one large loaf and two mini loaves (a mini loaf is pictured here) and I love to make these as gifts for friends or neighbors.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups of flour
• 1/2 cup of sugar
• 1/4 cup of brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 3 ripe bananas
• 1/4 cup of sour cream
• 1/4 cup of vegetable oil
• 2 eggs
• Optional: Top with walnuts and/or chocolate chips.

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

Step Two: Put the bananas into your kitchen aid or large bowl and stir until the bananas are creamed together.

Step Three: Add the sugar and brown sugar and mix – then add your sour cream, eggs and oil, mix.

Step Four: Add the baking soda and flour and mix well until fully combined.

Step Five: Spray your bread loaf pan and pour the batter into the pan (or pans if you are making mini loaves). Top with walnuts and/or chocolate chips if you would like.

Step Six: Place in the oven for ~50 minutes for a large loaf or ~40 minutes for the mini loaves. Note: oven temperatures can vary, I like to check on the bread at the 30 minute mark and adjust the time as needed.

Enjoy with a nice hot cup of tea or coffee!
