The only banana bread recipe I had ever made was from Pampered Chef. The recipe had peanut butter, peanuts and chocolate chips. A few weeks ago, we had some bananas that needed thrown out or used in a recipe. I didn't have everything to make my go-to banana bread recipe, so I searched www.allrecipes.com for a banana bread recipe with sour cream. All Recipes is my favorite site for searching recipes.
I decided to go with Cathy's Banana Bread recipe. It had great reviews and called for sour cream. I can't seem to follow a recipe exactly, so below is my version of the recipe.
Cathy's Banana Bread - Vanessa's Way

| Too bad the internet doesn't have smell. |
- 1 cup or 2 medium / large bananas mashed
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup butter (softened)
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/3 cup white sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 2 cups flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp Kosher salt
- 1/2 bag chocolate chips (optional)
Mix the bananas and sour cream together - it'll kinda be the consistency of pudding. I use a Pastry Blender or the Mix & Chop from Pampered Chef to mash the bananas.
Mix the butter and sugars. Add the eggs and vanilla. Then blend in the banana mixture. Next add the dry ingredients. The batter will be kinda runny.
Divide the batter in four mini loaf pans. I use an ice cream scoop to divide the batter - about four scoops per pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 to 40 minutes.
Me and brown sugar - I typically buy light and dark brown sugar and mix the two in a canister. The original recipe called for all white sugar. I don't think the brown sugar changes the taste that much - I just wanted to try it.

| Obviously, I added chocolate chips to these. I love a tall cold glass of milk with banana bread. |
