Mitzi's Banana Bread

. . . . . . . .

When my dear friend Mitzi gave me this recipe - years ago.  I knew it was a keeper.  It is the best banana bread I had ever tasted.  It became a great way to use up those banana's I kept throwing into the freezer - the ones that weren't going to get eaten in time. ;)

So.  You've got banana's galore?  Why not go ahead and make banana bread out of them?  Then, throw the loaves into the freezer and pull a loaf out when needed for that "unexpected moment" of spontaneous company and practicing hospitality?  Eh?   Then again., you already do this...don't you?

~Mitzi's Banana Bread~

1 cup sugar

1/2 cup canola oil

2 eggs (or 4 egg whites)

1 cup mashed banana's (equals 2 cups)

1/2 cup (non-fat) sour cream

1 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 cups. flour

1 tsp. baking soda

1/2 tsp. salt

Beat sugar and oil together; add other wet ingredients.  Mix dry ingredients separately, then add to wet batter...mixing together just until moist.  Pour into a greased and floured (I use granulated sugar) loaf pan.

Bake at 350* for 50-60 minutes.

Cool for 5 minutes, take out of pan and cool on wire rack.

Yield:  Makes one loaf.

I love my friend and miss her so much. 

** Here's to thinking of you, Mitzi.  Thank you for sharing this recipe with me, back there on Green St.  You should see what this recipe card looks like.  ;)

I hope you're having a wonderful day birthday  ;) and I sure wish you would (or could) drink coffee.  I also wish you didn't live so far away and were here for a random, spontaneous visit, you know?  ((hugs)).
