ORGANIC BANANA BREAD by G

This is a simple, yet delicious recipe for organic Banana Bread. My daughter, Gabriella has been making this bread with her mother for years. They use the small Pampered Chef ® bread pans so they can give away a few loaves of bread to neighbors and friends. There’s always a big appreciative smile when they bring a warm banana bread to someone.

I love my piece of Banana Bread hot and topped with cold cream cheese the best! ~ Bon Appetit!

This Banana Bread makes the best Banana Bread French Toast in the world. You better double-up the recipe for that one though. LOL

INGREDIENTS:

Makes enough for 2 regular loaves or 4 half loaves.

• 4 large farm-fresh eggs, organic makes a difference.
• 2 cups sugar
• 1 cup butter, room temperature and preferably organic.
• 6 large or 8 small bananas, (organic. Yes, it does make a difference!)
• 1/2 cup sour cream.
• 4 cups flour, sifted.
• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt.
• 2 teaspoons baking soda.

DIRECTIONS: Preheat oven to 350 degrees

1. Peel bananas and mash together in a medium-size bowl and set aside.
2. Using a large bowl, add eggs and sugar and beat to blend.
3. Add butter and combine until smooth.
4. Combine bananas into the mixture, blend together well.
5. Add sour cream, salt, and baking soda and combine.
6. Using a sifter, sift flour into mixture and combine.
7. Spray bread pans with PAM® cooking spray (if you’re not using Pampered Chef ® pans, you may need to spray your pans with cooking spray and lightly dust with flour to avoid sticking.)
8. Pour mixture into each pan. Leave 3/4″ from the top edge.
9. Bake in preheated oven for 1 hour.
10. Test with a toothpick in the center of the bread. When the toothpick comes out clean, the bread is done.
