The Bestest Banana Recipe

One day over lunch at school we {busy wives, mothers, and teachers all in one} were discussing how to get our families out the door during the school year with less fuss. Most of us do the majority of the prep work for each day well in advance.

I personally try to bake, cook, and freeze as much as I can to avoid the looming melt down during the height of any busy time. This recipe is one of my go tos, must haves, freezer friendly, save the day! Hope it works for you too.

Banana Bread or Muffins

3 ripe bananas

2 eggs

1 cup {lightly packed} light brown sugar

3/4 cup canola oil

1/2 cup sour cream

3/4 tsp. cinnamon

1 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp. baking powder

1 tsp. vanilla

1/2 tsp. salt

1 3/4  cup flour

*Preheat oven to 350

*Mash bananas in a bowl

*In a large bowl combine eggs, sugar, oil, and sour cream. Whisk until smooth.

*Add cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, vanilla, salt, mashed bananas to the egg mixture and combine.

*Add the flour and stir until just combined.   ~ Do Not Overmix! It will ruin the batter.~

*Pour batter into pan of choice ~ loaf pan, muffin, or mini muffin pans.

*Bake loaf {1 hour or until golden}, muffin {18minutes}, mini muffins {12 minutes}

*Remove from oven and let rest until cooled on rack

*Enjoy!

{ Every now and then I like to add nuts, blueberries, or mini chocolate chips just to change it up a bit }

{add a few additional cooking time when adding blue berries}
