Esther is right! The sour cream makes this one so moist it melts in your mouth. I make it healthier by using light sour cream, whole wheat flour and less sugar and butter --and you know what? No one can tell the difference!

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons white sugar

  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • ½ cup butter

  • 1 ½ cups white sugar

  • 3 eggs

  • 6 very ripe bananas, mashed

  • 1 (16 ounce) container reduced fat sour cream

  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • 3 teaspoons baking soda

  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour

  • 2 cups white whole wheat flour

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Grease four 7x3-inch loaf pans.

  2. Stir together 2 tablespoons white sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon in a small bowl. Dust pans lightly with sugar mixture.
