I found Janet's banana bread in the back of my mom's recipe box when I was trying to find something to bake. I loved it, and so did my mom. The nuts are optional. I hope you enjoy it.
Ingredients
- 3 cups white sugar
- ¾ cup butter, softened
- 3 large eggs
- 2 cups mashed ripe banana
- ½ cup sour cream
- 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups chopped pecans
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Lightly grease and flour two 8x4-inch loaf pans.
- Beat together sugar and butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in banana and sour cream.
- Combine flour, pecans, baking soda, baking powder, and cinnamon in a separate bowl; add to banana mixture, mixing until just combined. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pans.
- Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of each loaf comes out clean, 55 to 65 minutes. Remove loaves from the pans and place on a wire rack to cool. Serve warm or cold.
