Description

My great aunt Irene made the best banana bread ever. Unfortunately she passed away before I got her recipe. For years now I have been trying to reproduce it. After several years of variations, this one is very close. I make several loaves at a time and freeze them. It’s great to take for camping or family gatherings.

Ingredients

  • 2 whole Eggs
  • ½ cups Butter
  • ¾ cups Dark Brown Sugar
  • ¾ cups Granulated Sugar
  • ½ cups Buttermilk
  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 1 cup Sour Cream
  • 2 cups Very Ripe Bananas, Mashed
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 2-½ cups All-purpose Flour
  • 1-½ cup Blueberries, Fresh Or Frozen

Preparation

Cream together eggs, butter and sugars until smooth and creamy. Add buttermilk, vanilla, cinnamon and sour cream. Mix until smooth. Add bananas and mix (mixture will not be smooth).

Add salt, baking soda and flour. Mix well. Mix in blueberries.

Preheat oven to 350F. Spray one large (9×5) loaf pan with non-stick spray and pour in the batter. Fill a small oven safe bowl or pot with water and place it in the oven alongside the filled loaf pan.

Bake for 45-50 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out slightly wet but not gooey. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Turn out onto a cooling rack for 15 minutes.

Wrap tightly in plastic wrap to retain moisture.

Freezes very well!

I didn’t change the ingredients, using fresh blueberries from by back yard! I split the dough between 2 bread pans for a thinner version and it was cooked to perfection! My honey took a loaf to work and earned quite a few “brownie points”! Amazing recipe…
