mmm..this bread looks perfect!
This banana bread looks incredibly moist and delicious! I love a big warm slice with a little butter! I also love to freeze bananas and put them in smoothies. Or just blend frozen bananas into banana froyo. Yum! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas – and I hope you have a happy New Year!
Hi Suzanne, great idea also with the bananas! I use them in my smoothies too! Great fix for a late night snack! Genius!
I love banana bread, and LOVE trying new recipes for it!
Another favorite thing to do with bananas..slice them up, freeze them, then when you need an ice cream fix, take those frozen nanners, and run them through the food processor…the texture is alot like vanilla ice cream, and you can treat it the same! YUM!
Sour cream & bananas…that has got to be some good bread! Thanks for the banana freezing tip 🙂
THis looks so good – love banana bread – a perfect snack any time of the day.
