Banana Bread This was the BEST banana bread recipe that I have come across.  I had tried a few other banana bread recipes in the past and was never satisfied with the way the banana bread turned out.  They always turned out not banana enough, too dry, or just the flavor was off.  But this recipe was absolutely fabulous!  I made some changes to this recipe but they were very minor changes.  The original banana bread recipe can be found at the link provided or seen below.  My changes are italicized.  I had enough batter for one loaf pan and 6 muffins.  The muffins will obviously cook in less time than what is stated.  I think my muffins cooked for about 20-25 minutes and then I just left the loaf pan in the oven to cook the rest of the time.  Ingredients 1 cup mashed bananas (approximately 2 bananas for me) 1 cup sour cream 1/4 cup margarine 1 1/3 cups white sugar 2 eggs 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon baking powder 1/4 teaspoon salt Optional: 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (or more if you want more) Optional: 1 banana roughly chopped (I wanted some chunks of banana in my bread) Directions Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour one 9x13 inch pan, or two 7x3 inch loaf pans. Combine banana and sour cream. Set aside. In a large bowl, cream together the margarine and sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla and banana mixture. Combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt; stir into the banana mixture. Optional: stir in the mini chocolate chips. Optional: gently stir in the chopped bananas. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan or pans. Optional: sprinkle some mini chocolate chips over the top of the batter. Bake for 50 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
