Sugar Crusted Banana Bread

Banana Bread is a baking staple in my house and my family. There are always bananas that no one got to for the week that turn the perfect yellow-black to make banana bread!

Occasionally, we have banana bread so often that I just need a change. We have tried all the standard additions like chocolate chips, nuts, dried fruits, etc…

Enter Snickerdoodle Banana Bread! I love banana and cinnamon together, so I knew this would be a hit. My kids loved it so much I had to hide the rest before my husband got home from work!

• ½ cup butter melted
• 3 very ripe bananas mashed with a fork
• 2 eggs
• ⅓ cup sour cream (or plain Greek yogurt)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 1 tsp cream of tartar
• ½ tsp baking soda
• ½ tsp salt

glaze

• ⅓ cup, powdered sugar

HOW TO MAKE SNICKERDOODLE BANANA BREAD:

1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. Prepare a loaf pan by rubbing a stick of butter and then sprinkling sugar until bottom & side of pan are coated.
3. Combine dry ingredients in a bowl and set aside. 
4. Beat butter, bananas, eggs and sour cream together.
5. Add vanilla and beat again.
6. Add combined dry ingredients and beat until just blended.
7. Pour into prepared loaf pan and top with Tablespoon of sugar.
8. Bake for 45-60 mins depending on your oven.

Once you have your pan prepared, mix together your dry and wet ingredients. Remember the more we mix things the “tougher” they will be. Combine just until there are not any dry ingredients to be seen.
