3 ripe bananas

1 cup white sugar

½ cup butter, melted

2 eggs

1 tsp. vanilla extract

1 ½ cups flour

1 tsp. baking soda

½ tsp. salt

½ cup sour cream

½ cup chopped walnuts,

toasted (optional)

1 Tbsp. turbinado sugar (optional)

1. Mash enough of the bananas
   [we used 2 medium bananas] to
   make 1 cup of mash. Cut remaining
   banana into thick slices. Preheat oven
   to 350°F. Grease a 5x9-inch loaf pan.

“I dust my

loaf pans with

cinnamon and

sugar after

greasing them.

It creates a

wonderful crust on

the bread.”

janet’s rich banana bread

HANDS-ON 15 MIN TOTAL 1 HR, 25 MIN SERVES 16 SUBMITTED BY VJONSSON

As several community members suggested, we mashed

rather than chopped the bananas, made sure we had a full cup of

mash in the batter, and added a thickly sliced banana to the top.

Though it slices better the next day, we like this bread’s

crisp brown crust and moist interior when it’s fresh from the oven.

And we love it best with a little schmear of butter.
