Banana Bread that is YUM!!!

I have been making mini loaves of banana bread and pumpkin bread since Christmas. I tweaked a recipe and EVERYONE seems to want it so here goes....


Ingredients
3/4 cup sugar
1 stick (1/2 cup unsalted butter)
4 med. ripe bananas mashed bananas
1/2 cup light sour cream
2 large eggs
1 cup white flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/3 cup ground flax seed
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 to 2 teaspoons cinnamon



Preheat oven to 350. Butter and flour the bottoms of you loaf pans. Choose 2 8x4 loaves or 8 mini loaves (you can also make 18 regular muffins).

Beat butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add sour cream, eggs and bananas and mix until everything is incorporated. Slowly stir in flour, flax, baking soda and salt.

Bake on center rack at 350 for 55 minutes for loaves, 25 to minutes for muffins or mini loaves. Let cool 20 minutes before removing from pans and completely cool before packaging.

I prefer the mini loaves. You can also add 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips. You can also substitute bananas for a 16 oz can of pumpkin and alter the spices with nutmeg, clove and cinnamon. You can add nuts... maybe even try it with applause. It's a fun healthy recipe that all my kids love. Enjoy!!
