Going Bananas

While this plague is still killing me, it isn't killing my appetite for yummy baked goods. That and we have an insane amount of bananas that are starting to go ripe.


Banana Sour Cream Bread with Chocolate Chips & Nuts

4 teaspoons white sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
4 Tablespoons butter
1 cup white sugar
1 egg
2 very ripe bananas, mashed
3/4 sour cream
1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 300. Grease a 9x4 loaf pan. In a small bowl, stir together 4 tsp. white sugar and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon. Dust pan lightly with cinnamon and sugar mixture.
In a large bowl, cream butter and 1 cup sugar. Mix in egg, mashed bananas, sour cream, vanilla and cinnamon. Mix in salt, baking soda and flour. Stir in nuts and chocolate chips.
Bake for 1 hour, until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. (May take additional 15 min)
