There are many good banana bread recipes out there but this one is by far the best of them. I found this in the "Recipe Hall of Fame Cookbook" and it can be halved or doubled, as you like. I have added my own preferences, like a cup of raisins (the golden ones)and my favorite caramel icing. Incredibly yummy!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter or margarine
  • 3 cups sugar
  • 6 - eggs
  • 3 cups sour cream
  • 4 teaspoons baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 4-5 - bananas, mashed
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 5 cups flour (bread flour is best)
  • 1 cup golden raisins

How To Make best ever banana bread

  • Step 1
    cream together butter, sugar and eggs
  • Step 2
    Mix sour cream and baking soda together in separate bowl and let stand until foamy.
  • Step 3
    Add the rest of the ingredients to the above mixture and mix well. Place into 4 greased and floured 9x5 in. bread pans (I use Baker's Joy) and bake 50 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  • Step 4
    Note from someone called Marcus from Iowa: A good use of ripe bananas, this makes 4 loaves, so I often halve it. Okay to use Egg Beaters, low-fat sour cream and margarine-superb!
