Sour Cream Banana Bread

I am a banana lover. I love all things banana flavored… they’re yummy and nutritious! I mean really nutritious and good for your body. Everyone knows they contain potassium, but they also do other things too.

Did you know…. the benefits of bananas??

Reduce depression
Helps bones grow stronger
Helps people to quit smoking (who would’ve thought that?)
Helps prevent anemia
Provides us with energy
Reduces menstrual pains
Powers our brains
Reduces blood pressure

That’s pretty sweet huh?? Yeah, I thought so too that’s why I had to share it with you!

So how do you like to eat yours?? Raw, Baked, Fried? Any way you prepare them… I’m eating them. I love a good fried banana and talk about an excellent Banana Foster… yes please. I want it right now! With a big scoop of vanilla ice cream on top! Healthy right? 

Well if you like your bananas baked in some sort of dessert, I’m sure you’ve tried banana bread before. I used to make the same ol’ boring banana bread. Don’t get me wrong. It’s still delicious, but once I added sour cream to the recipe… it took it to a whole other level. Most quick breads you have to really watch so you don’t over mix or they’re going to be dense and dry. With this Sour Cream Banana Bread… no worries at all. It’s pretty much fail proof. Seriously. Fail Proof! 

I usually get a request to make this recipe at least once a month. It’s pretty addicting and once  you warm a slice up and smear butter on the top… heaven. Angels are singing! You think I’m exaggerating don’t you?? Well no… not at all. It really is the best banana bread that I’ve ever made. 

So do you have bananas just setting on your counter turning brown? Well don’t let them go to waste! Get to baking, please
