Banana Bread found at AllRecipes here.218 calories per serving
Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 1 hour
Serves: 15
1/2 cup water
1 cup white sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon Vanilla
1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup sour cream
3/4 cup chopped walnuts (I added a quarter of a cup more)
2 medium bananas, sliced
1 cup fresh blueberries (added by me, not in the original recipe)
For garnish:
Strawberries
A spoonful of Clotted Cream or Regular Whipped Cream. Gregg suggested sour cream on top, which went well if you like sour cream. Or none of the above. It is tasty enough on its own.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Grease a 9 x 5 inch loaf pan.
In a large bowl stir together the melted butter and
sugar.
Add the eggs and vanilla, mix well.
Combine the flour, baking soda and salt, stir into the butter mixture until smooth.
Finally, fold in the sour cream, walnuts and bananas.
Spread evenly into the prepared pan.
Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
Cool loaf in the pan for 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely. Garnish with a dollop of your favorite cream and top with a strawberry. Slice and fan strawberry out for a nice effect.
I baked this banana-blueberry bread when it snowed last week (1-30-19).
I have found many recipes for banana bread to try throughout my married life. This was the first time I made one using sliced bananas rather than mashed. I had blueberries in the fridge which were a nice addition into the batter.
It took a lot longer than an hour for it to be done. I know all oven temperatures are different. I checked again after adding another 15 minutes to the timer. Not sure but maybe with the blueberries it lengthened the cooking time, who knows.
It was a great recipe. Hope you think the same if you want to try it.
Have a great week everyone and thanks for stopping by.
Yum!!!!
