Sour Cream Banana Bread

When I think of sour cream… tacos and quesadillas and other great Mexican foods start popping into my head. However, my perception of sour cream was changed significantly after making this Sour Cream Banana Bread…

Sour cream isn’t just a topping! It really helped with the consistency of the banana bread. I noticed that this bread is smoother AND more moist than other banana breads I have made in the past.

To be completely honest, I wasn’t sure if the sour cream would fit in with the rest of the ingredients. But in this case, the gamble definitely paid off. This was some freaking fantastic banana bread. (Past tense because I stuffed myself with these loafs… Yes, they were/are that good.

Sour Cream Banana Bread is one interesting recipe (in a good way), but boy is it tasty!! Very simple to make, too. I had some old friends come into town and test out this new recipe and they each gave it a double thumbs-up, which is always a good sign. Enjoy this Sour Cream Banana Bread recipe and let me know if you decide to make it! The final product is absolutely delicious!!!
