crazy for banana bread
(3 ratings)
I always make this bread when I have bananas that are slightly over-ripe. If I don't wish to make the bread right away, I mash three bananas, add a few drops of lemon juice and freeze them in a plastic bag. The sour cream, yogurt or buttermilk makes this a moist recipe. Banana yogurt gives it a richer flavor. If you wish to use buttermilk and don't have any on hand, you may make your own using the following step: Add 1 TBSP of white vinegar or lemon juice to a plain cup of milk. Let it sit for 10 minutes and you have buttermilk!
