I can't cook but I can bake like a MO FO



So I had some left over bananas sitting on my counter that were way too ripe to eat. So I decided to make some home made banana bread. After scanning the internet for a while looking at the basic ingredients for the bread I decided to make my own version. Lets just say I will be making this again because it was the best banana bread I have ever had in my life.

Ingredients:
3 ripe bananas
1/3 cup melted butter
1 cup sugar
1 1/2 cup flour
1 egg beaten
2 teaspoons of cinnamon
pinch of salt
1 teaspoon of baking soda
two generous scoops of sour cream (maybe 1/2 cup)
Handful of chocolate chips
handful of walnuts

Step one: Preheat oven to 358F

Step two: Mash your bananas with a wooden spoon or what I prefer to use...

Step three: Mix in sugar, egg and cinnamon to mashed bananas

Step four: Add baking soda, salt and sour cream. Mix well then add chocolate chips and walnuts.

Step 5: I like using rectangular baking dishes, so I would suggest a 4X8 baking dish for your mixture. You could be boring and use a square if you'd like.

Step 6: Bake for one full hour.

Step 7: Take out of oven and let cool for a few minutes, cut yourself a slice and NOM NOM NOM

    This sounds great!! :) I have always been a baker and always loved it!We both love to cook but my husband went to culinary school so he he is far better and creative than I am sometimes. He, however, is not so good at the baking thing, since you have to be more specific on measurements than when you cook :)

    Thanks for sharing your comment on my Mama Bear Gets Chatty blog...about the Printable Countdown to Santa's Arrival.

    We LOVE banana bread at our house! When bananas go brown, I stick them in the freezer for using later. When it's time to bake, I simply get the bananas out in time for them to thaw, and then once they're thawed, you can just snip off one end and squeeze the banana right out into the measuring cup. SUPER easy! :-)
