Growing up, there was never a lack of things to eat at my grandma's house.
This buttery, moist bread is quick and easy to make needing only one bowl.

Loaded with two cups of mashed banana this bread is the best use for those ripe bananas on the counter! I have never been a big banana bread fan, but it seemed wasteful to trash some over-ripe bananas. I happened upon Grandma's Sour Cream Banana Bread recipe and I have to say, it is wonderful in all respects. My favorite way to use up bananas is either this banana walnut layer cake or banana bread, though.
