I know I have a couple of other banana bread recipes on this site, and they're all quite tasty. But when I made this one on Sunday, it really hit the spot. It's actually even more delicious the next day! Definitely a winner.
1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup oil
3 1/2 bananas, very ripe, mashed
2 tablespoons creme fraiche or sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2/3 cup walnuts, toasted and chopped
Set oven to 350 degrees F. Line the bottom of a loaf pan with parchment paper.
Sift together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Beat sugar and eggs with a whisk until light and fluffy, about 10 minutes. Drizzle in oil. Add mashed bananas, creme fraiche, and vanilla. Fold in dry ingredients and nuts. Pour into a lined loaf pan and bake for about 50 minutes to 1 hour.
**Mine baked for exactly an hour, but a lot of the comments on the Food Network site mentioned they had to bake it for almost an hour and 15 minutes. After 50 minutes, the edges of my loaf were getting more browned than I wanted them to be, so I covered the edges with foil and let it continue to bake until the middle was done.)
