The Best Ever Banana Bread!




Preheat oven to 325
1 1/3 C. Oil
4 large eggs
3 C. sugar
6 ripe bananas, mashed
1 C. Sour Cream (you can use fat free)
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1 Tbsp. vanilla

Mix ingredients in large bowl on low until smooth

4 C. all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
2 C. chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts)

Mix in flour and soda on low until flour disappears.  Do no overmix.  Stir in nuts (if skipping the nuts, please add 1/2 cup more flour).

Fill 3 or 4 greased and floured loaf pans 2/3 full.  Sprinkle with 1/2 cup sugar to form a delicious crust.  Bake for 40 to 60 minutes.  Bread is baked when top is crowned and light golden brown and tests clean with a toothpick.  Remove and cool for 5 minutes.  Turn loaves out and cool until room temperature. Store bread well wrapped in the refrigerator.

I've needed a good banana bread recipe for a LONG time. The sour cream must be the secret ingredient. I'm trying this one soon!
