Favorite Banana Bread Recipe

2-3 bananas
1 cup sour cream
4 Tb butter or margarine
1 2/3 cup all purpose flour
1/3 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup sugar
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp salt
2 eggs
2-3 Tb flaxseed meal

Optional: chopped nuts or chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 

Smash bananas in a bowl.  Melt butter and set aside.  Mix all dry ingredients and then add butter, sour cream and eggs.  Mix well. 

Bake in a loaf pan in the oven for 50-55 minutes. 

This is my favorite recipe.  I used a recipe from Allrecipes and modified it to make it a little bit healthier.  I tried to make the banana bread with all whole wheat flour, but it just didn't taste right, and so I gradually lowered the amount of whole wheat flour until it wasn't as noticeable.   It's moist and is so yummy.  Enjoy!
