Banana Bread

 Growing up my grandma Gin always made the very best ever banana bread so I knew this was one i had to add to my collection of recipes. I made it for The Marine one time and he could not stop raving over the awesome-ness of the bread and I could eat a whole loaf of it himself in one sitting so normally I make 2 at a time. This recpie I have is a tweeked version of what my grandma gin gave me and it's what I make today for my family. I made some this morning on a whim cause I wanted to surprise The Marine as a thank you for being so totally rocking to me!

Ingredients:
1 and 1/2 cup sifted flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 cup soft butter
1 cup sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 cup mashed bananas
2 tablespoons sour cream

-Mix together the top dry ingredients and set aside
-Mix together the bottom wet indredients until well mixed
-mix together the dry and wet until well blended
-bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour in a greased bread dish


 It;s really very easy to make! My kids love mashing the bananas together, I give them an old potato masher and they go to town! This makes one loaf size so I normally double things so that The Marine gets his fill and the rest of us can have some too!

really yummy still warm with melting butter on top!
