Sorry, DM. My banana bread is better than your banana bread. Mostly my recipe is the same, but there is one magic ingredient that makes this one superior. Here’s my recipe:

1/2 cup butter, melted
1 cup white sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup sour cream (this is the magic ingredient)
2 or 3 medium bananas, mashed (I use an old-fashioned hand masher)

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a 9×5 loaf pan
2. 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 and bananas; spread evenly into the loaf pan.
3. Bake at 350 for 60 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack.

Excellent with cream cheese. Last time I made this (and no offense to your daughter, but chocolate chips in banana bread are a SIN) I used Tofutti’s “Better than Sour Cream” and it made no difference in texture or taste. Sub in applesauce for the eggs and the whole shebang becomes vegan.

What is wrong with microwaving bowls full of Ragu? *smile* Seriously though, I can only cook about a handful of dishes. We don't eat out all the time, but I can tell you my freezer is packed with microwavable items. I'm not proud of this fact, I'm just sayin'. Now that BF and I are "reconnecting" we are trying to cook some new dishes together. Last night we made twice baked potatoes and parmesan-dijon chicken! I just might try your banana bread recipe though. I hate bananas unless they are baked into bread. Mmmmm Vinomom's last blog post..My First Meme

My single father taught me to cook. Mom to bake. It was my father that had me (against my better judgement) stick my arm up the turkey to clean it out for Thanksgiving dinner when I was twelve. I have made Thanksgiving dinner for him every year since. He taught me how to make stocks and soups and really, really big bowls of mashed potatoes. Big hugs for being a Dad that can pass that on, I had no idea what it meant back then, but sure the heck appreciate it now. Treemama's last blog post..Preparing to Sew

Teri – I thought you’d be more into firm bananas than mushy ones.

Exception – I cook solo all the time, but I only occasionally bake and it’s usually with my daughter – which is very fun, because she takes charge and tells me what to do. She took charge of this moist banana bread recipe adventure.

Marina – no, SMS and I are not an item. We’re simply blogging buddies who live an hour apart, so we can actually meet on occasion.

Single Parent Dad – don’t you hate being stereotyped like that? And what the hell is a hob?
