The star ingredient is the sour cream so please don’t skip or substitute this out if you can help it! The sour cream adds the moist and softness to this amazing banana bread. This converts very well as muffins (about 12 large muffins). One secret – you can use frozen ripened bananas if you thaw it out before using in this recipe.

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 ½ cups flour
