Banana Bread
Want a banana bread so moist, you won’t even need a drink of milk? This banana bread does just that!
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Butter unsalted, softened
- 1 cup Sugar
- 1 Egg whole
- 1 container Applesauce lunch pack (see notes)
- 3 Ripened Bananas mashed
- 1/2 cup Sour Cream
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 1/2 cup All Purpose Flour
- 1 tsp Baking Soda
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a loaf pan and set aside.
- Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg and applesauce; beat to incorporate. Add bananas, sour cream, and vanilla.
- In a separate bowl, mix flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir into the butter mixture and mix until just combined.
- Stir in nuts if desired.
- Pour into prepared pan, and sprinkle the top with a 1/4 tsp of sugar.
- Bake until a cake tester inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, about 1 hour, or up to 70 minutes. Let rest in pan for 10 minutes then turn out onto a rack to cool.
Notes
I substituted the applesauce in place of one of the eggs.
If you don't have applesauce, use 2 eggs.
