Sweet Breads Are the Best!
While I haven’t always been a bread maker, I’ve ALWAYS made sweet bread recipes (or quick bread recipes)! From traditional Zucchini Bread to more unique Chocolate Bread, we love them all! Of course, we love classic Banana Bread and because of that we have a wide array of variations on the site (Peanut Butter Banana Bread, Pumpkin Banana Bread, Chocolate Chip Banana Bread, and MORE!) Today we wanted to share our recipe for super moist banana bread. Why we love it:
Extra moist. The addition of sour cream and that secret ingredient makes this banana bread recipe extra moist and delicious! Waste not. Of course, this bread is the PERFECT way to use up ripe bananas, along with our famous Banana Bars! A treat, or not! Serve this bread up as a delicious breakfast, on-the-go snack, or an evening dessert. It even freezes well to save for later!
