Banana Bread

Banana Bread is a type of bread that is full of mashed over-ripe bananas and nuts.

I saw this recipe on Food Network a couple of days back. Tried out this weekend and it came out so well.

This is a sweet, cake- like quick bread made with all purpose flour, sour cream, bananas and walnuts. This is high in protein and has true flavor of banana in each bite. The sour cream makes this one so moist and it melts in your mouth.

When we pull this banana bread from oven the golden brown crust is crisp and although the crust softens once the bread is stored, its wonderful moist texture and sweet flavor remains together.

Ripe Bananas Mashed – 1 cup

Melted Unsalted butter - ¼ cup
