Banana Bread with Sour Cream
A couple of days ago I decided to make a loaf of banana bread with sour cream for the weekend. I had bananas that were ripe, a fresh new bag of brown sugar, and an unopened box of pecans.
Luckily, I also had sour cream in the refrigerator, which I rarely do so I took this as a sign. I prepared a loaf of banana bread, and later on, went to bed looking forward to a toasted slice of banana bread the following morning. Yum!

- 4 mashed ripe bananas

I hope you enjoy this banana bread with sour cream as much as I do. I like toasting a slice and adding a bit of butter on top both in the morning and in the afternoon as a snack.

How do I keep banana bread moist when baking?
Wrap the banana bread in aluminum foil while you bake it in the oven. Remove the aluminum foil paper during the last 15-20 minutes.
How do I freeze and store banana bread?
Banana bread freezes really well. To freeze a loaf of banana bread, slice it, wrap the slices in plastic wrap, and then wrap it in aluminum foil. I then place them inside an air-tight container.
Otherwise, I will store the banana bread in a glass container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
