This is sooooo amazing , warm from the oven with a little dab of butter. It’s Martha’s recipe, so you know it’s good!
Ingredient list:
1/2 cup butter, room temperature
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups unbleached flour
1 t baking soda
1 t salt
1 cup mashed very ripe bananas
1/2 cup sour cream
1 t vanilla
1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
I apologize in advance for the “action mixer shots”, I just couldn’t help myself….
Cream the butter
sugar
add the eggs and mix thoroughly
Sift the dry ingredients and add slowly to the butter, sugar egg mixture
add the mashed bananas, sour cream and vanilla, mix thoroughly
Stir in the nuts and pour into one large or several smaller loaf pans which have been slathered in butter
Bake for about 1 hour at 350 degrees and enjoy

That bread looks scrumptious. I only have two banana’s left in the house, maybe I could half the recipe??

Looks so good I can practically smell it! Love the action shots

Looks delicious! I’ve been trying to get banana bread made for several weeks now, but people keep eating up the bananas before I can get it made!

First, I love the Spinach Pear salad below this post! And I love banana bread and this recipe with sour cream…YUM! (I think I would rent a smaller car too!) ;D

Christine,
I’m sure you could half the recipe.
Let me know how it turns out!

The sour cream probably makes this bread super moist!

What a beautiful link to Alphabe-Thursday’s letter B.
I love banana bread. Your recipe is slightly different than mine. If my husband would ever let bananas go bad, I might be able to try this!
Thanks for a recipe bonanza again this week for your link.

Now I’m craving banana bread and I’ve got some bananas just waiting to be baked.

Sour cream in a banana bread is wonderful! Nothing better than a great loaf of banana bread. We love it around here!
Super action photos!

Sounds delish!! Ever wonder why the word ‘ish’ is in ‘delish’? Thanks for stopping in on my blog, I too hope it’s not too painful;-)

I didn’t know you can use sour cream in making banana bread. They look so good..
April 27th, 2011 at 6:35 pm
Love banana bread. I still use the recipe I learned in 4-H.~Ames

It’s been a while since I made banana bread, and yours looks so very good. Yummy B post!

That looks incredible! I have not made banana bread in years.. I may have to rethink that. It was something we had a lot of growing up, you’ve made me nostalgic (well, and hungry!)

You’re reading my mind again RMW! It’s pouring with rain and all I want is something gorgeously fragrant like this from my oven!
April 28th, 2011 at 2:21 am
oh, My oldest loves Banana bread and I have some ripe and ready…I am going ot have to make this recipe for her!!!
April 28th, 2011 at 2:26 am
YUM!

I just threw some smashed bananas in the freezer last night. I may try this over the weekend. I’ve never put sour cream in mine. That sounds interesting.
Have a great day, Barb! La

I got smart this time. I came here after breakfast. It sure looks yummy but I am not drooling.
April 28th, 2011 at 6:50 am
This looks GOOD. I love your action shots!
Reminds me I have a BUNCH of bananas in the freezer waiting to be made into banana bread. Too bad I don’t have sour cream – This recipe sounds yummy!

I absolutely LOVE banana bread. One of my favorite treats.

great action shots! I love banana bread – people at work know it’s the preferred “cake” for my birthday! {:-D
April 28th, 2011 at 10:43 am
ooh i love banana bread. But, the spinach pear salad underneath that post looks really good too.
April 28th, 2011 at 11:03 am
Yum!
April 28th, 2011 at 11:29 am
Really looks like some good banana bread. I can almost smell it!
April 28th, 2011 at 11:36 am
The photos are fantastic, and I’ll Bet that Beautiful Bread tasted even Better than it looks!
April 28th, 2011 at 12:19 pm
I think the sour cream would really add something to the banana bread — warm from the oven is best! Joni
April 28th, 2011 at 12:22 pm
Sounds like a very yummy recepe !
April 28th, 2011 at 1:00 pm
I really should try this. I often wonder how to make use of slightly over ripe bananas.
April 28th, 2011 at 1:59 pm
Bet the house really smells wonderful while this is baking too!
Thanks for the visit earlier – the Buds and I can head west – we are still searching for Spring…
April 28th, 2011 at 2:48 pm

A nice big slice of this would be most wonderful right now, at 3AM, as I watch the Royal Wedding!!!
