4-5BananasVery ripe and Frozen
1cupSugar
1/2cupVegetable Oil
1cupSour Cream
4Eggs
Dry Ingredients
3cupFlour
2tspBaking Soda
2tspBaking Powder
pinchSalt
Instructions
I find the best thing is to get my loaf pans ready before I start with anything else. Grab approximately 1 Tbsp of Butter and with your fingers ( or your finger wrapped with parchment paper )and smear it all over the inside of the pans. Don't forget the corners.
Drop approximately 1 Tbsp of Flour into the bottom of the pan and tilt until all the Butter is cover with Flour. Set aside, turn the oven on to 325°F and start making the batter.
Wet Ingredients
Thaw the Bananas, peel and place into the bowl of your kitchen mixer. If you don't have a mixer do not fear, use a hand whisk or fork. Because the Bananas are frozen they are very soft and easy to mix.
Add the Sugar, Vegetable Oil and Sour Cream to the Bananas and mix. Once they are all mixed together add the Eggs one at a time and finish with the Salt.
Dry Ingredients
It is easier if you measure the Flour, Baking Powder, Baking Soda and a pinch of Salt together first. Add about a third of the Flour mixture to the Bananas and mix. Continue with the rest of the Flour mixture, a third at a time until completely combined.
Divide evenly into the loaf pans and place on the bottom rack in the oven.
Start to check for doneness after an hour and fifteen minutes. You should have a nice brown top and a skewer poked into the middle comes out clean.
After the skewer comes out clean turn the oven off and open the oven door slightly. Leave the loaves in the oven for another 10 - 15 minutes with the door open. Cooling them slowly in the oven will help reduce the amount they collapse.
Grab the Butter and have fun!
Notes
If you plan to add Nuts, Raisins or anything else it is best to add after 2/3rds of the Flour has been mixed in. Add the Nuts and then finish with the last 1/3rd of Flour.I usually add approximately 1/2 C of extras per Loaf.
