Banana Bread!

So, I had 3 bananas turning brown in my house--my roommate from college Julie once did a Dietetics Experiment involving banana bread with different stages of banana in them, so I knew it was the perfect time for it!

Photos to come soon!

Ingredients
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 cup white sugar
2 eggs
1 tbsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup sour cream
2 medium bananas, mashed
1 cup chocolate chips, optional (I actually used a combo of white and semi-sweet chips!  Delish!)


Directions
1.  Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.  Grease 2 9x5 inch loaf pans.

2.  In a large bowl, stir together the melted butter and sugar.  Add the eggs and vanilla.  Mix well.  In another bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt.  Stir into the butter mixture until smooth.  Finally, fold in the sour cream, mashed bananas, and chocolate chips.

3.  Spread evenly into the prepared pans.

4.  Bake at 350 degrees F for 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.  Cool loaf in the pan for 10 minutes before removing.


I think the best part of this banana bread is how moist it is, and how amazing it is while still hot--the chips are so melty!  Enjoy!
