Banana Bread

Ingredients

• 1 stick butter
• 11/3 c sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1 c sour cream
• 2 c flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 3/4 tsp salt
• 1 c mashed ripe bananas
• 1 c chocolate chips
• 1/2 c chopped pecans (optional - I left these out!)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 325°. In a large bowl cream butter and sugar. Then mix in eggs, vanilla and sour cream. In a separate bowl whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Slowly add to sugar mixture and stir until combined. Fold in bananas, nuts, and chocolate chips. Pour into 2 large loaf pans or 4 small loaf pans. You can also make 24 muffins. Bake for 1 hour in a loaf pan, 35-45 minutes in a small loaf pan or 25 min in a muffin pan. You want the bread to be lightly browned. Make sure it comes clean with a toothpick.
2. Once the bread is cooked, remove the bread from the pan and place on a cooling rack.
