Kelley's famous Banana Bread
Total preparation time: 15 min.
Serves: 12Ingredients:
- 2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
- 2 eggs
- 2 ripe bananas
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups sour cream
- 3 cups flour
- 2 teaspoon baking soda
- dash salt
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°. Butter and flour 6 small aluminum loaf pans and place on a large cookie tray. Be sure to position them so air can pass freely or they will not cook evenly.
- In a large bowl blend sugar, butter and eggs. Add mashed banana, extracts and sour cream.
- Sift flour, baking soda and salt into batter. Stir into banana mixture taking care not to over mix or bread will be tough.
- Combine brown sugar and cinnamon. Spoon half the batter into loaf pans and sprinkle half of the brown sugar/cinnamon mixture on batter. Continue to fill loaf pans with remaining batter. Sprinkle the remaining half of the brown sugar/cinnamon mix on top. *be sure pans are no more than 2/3 full or they will spill over.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes. If using larger pans, it could take an hour to bake. Freezes well. I place in oven for about 5 minutes before serving to reheat bread.
Trust me, this one's a winner.
