If you’re a follower of this blog, you know that I talk a lot about my Granny and how she is one of the reasons I’m so comfortable and confident in the kitchen. My Granny was a baker’s baker. I can literally think back to all of the delicious treats that were birthed in her kitchen. Sweet Potato Pie, Caramel Cake, Peach Cobbler, and my favorite, Banana Bread. The goodness. Oh, the goodness. Banana Bread, it’s one of those dishes that I’m hesitant to try by pretty much anyone else other than the members of my family that have it in their recipe arsenal. It reminds me of me of my childhood. Afternoons at my grandparents were always spent with something delicious. This Banana Bread ranks high on the list of desirables. I’m sharing my take on Granny’s Banana Bread. Grab the recipe below.
- 3 Ripe Bananas
- 1 1/2 Cup Flour
- 2 Beaten Eggs
- 1/2 Cup Melted Butter
- 1 Tbsp of Sour Cream
- 1/2 Cup Brown Sugar
- 1/4 Cup White Sugar
- 1 Tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 Tsp Baking Soda
- Pinch of Salt
- *Optional
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees
- In a large bowl, with a fork mash bananas until potentially lump free.
- Mix in Sugar, Sour Cream, Eggs and melted butter. Stir until fully combined.
- Sift together Flour, Baking Powder, Salt
- Add in to Banana mixture and stir gently until well combined.
- If you are adding nuts, fold into batter gently.
- Pour bread batter into a prepared loaf pan and bake for 45-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the bread comes out clean.
- Let cool slightly and serve along side your favorite beverage.
- Top your bread with honey or butter. Delish!

I LOVE BANANA BREAD! Thanks for sharing your granny’s banana bread.
This bread looks delicious! I hate bananas….the smell…the texture! But I usually can appreciate a good slice of banana nut bread. 🙂
Thank you for that! It’s once of my faves

I love banana bread with some melted butter on top. I wonder if I could make a vegan version.
Totally make a vegan version. Sub the egg out with applesauce. Thanks for reading
I love banana bread. I have some bananas that I need to use before they go bad and I already have the ingredients on hand.

This looks so good, my Grandma was one of my most favorite people in the world. I swear she had a special touch. Everything she made was amazing. I wish I had paid more attention.
Thank you so much for sharing that. I feel the same about my Grandmother.

This a wonderful recipe, I want to do the same with spelt or rye flour. Have you baked any bread with rye or spelt flour before? alkhalife.info asked if i had any recipes for these natural flour. I thought i rather ask you.
I have not! I should test. Thanks for asking
