So I REALLY LOVE banana bread, it's one of my favourite desserts, probably because I love bread in general. I have a recipe that I use all the time and it tastes pretty good and all the guys at Steve's office seem to love it. The last couple of times I've made it I have added a little cinnamon in there but Steve wasn't a fan, I was though. I tried a new recipe the other day, this one called for chocolate chips on the top which my kids thought was GREAT! I think they loved it just because of that. Steve thought it was ok but still preferred the other one I made. Today I thought I would try another recipe, this one is from the school cookbook and is of my friends recipe's. I made 4 small loaves and one bigger loaf. I added cinnamon to the bigger loaf and I added chocolate chips to the top of 2 of the small loaves and half of the big one. Crazy I know but I wanted to see what we liked best.
1 c. butter (once again I used margarine because I'm cheap)
2 c. sugar
2 tsp. vanilla
2 tsp. lemon juice
4 eggs
2 c. mashed bananas (approx. 3)
1 c. sour cream
3 1/2 c. flour
1 tsp. salt
2 tsp. baking soda
2 tsp. baking powder
1 c. nuts, optional (I didn't add these. I love nuts but Steve isn't a fan)
*I added about 1 tsp. cinnamon to about 1/3 of the mixture
Cream together butter, sugar, vanilla, lemon juice, eggs, bananas and sour cream. Mix in flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder and nuts. Pour into 3 separate greased loaf pans (I used 4 mini loaf pans and 1 bigger pan). Bake at 350F for 35-55 minutes, depending on loaf size. *Recipe provided by Angie Tamayo*
This bread is SUPER moist and REALLY delicious, I think I might have found a new banana bread recipe, YUMMY!
Zoe, I am so glad you liked this recipe! It is one of our favorites. The recipe means a lot to me. It was my grandma's recipe and she has since passed away. Sometimes I will add cinamon chips from the Prepared Pantry into my recipe. Very yummy!
