...That's what my Uncle Dean calls me. Anyway. Bananas. We have about a zillion (okay, seven) of them in our freezer at my apartment. For some reason a couple months ago people felt inclined to give me their old, browning bananas. They were all, "Hey before you go, take these bananas! They're too soft for me to eat, but I'm sure you can make banana bread out of them or something right?" Well yes, indeed I can. So today I rescued our freezer from hostile takeover by brown bananas and made some banana-blueberry bread. :)
Banana Blueberry Bread
1 cup butter, softened
2 cups sugar
2 tsp vanilla
1 tsp lemon juice
4 eggs
2 cups mashed banana
1 tsp salt
3 1/2 cups flour
2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp baking powder
1 cup sour cream
About 2 cups blueberries *SEE NOTE
1. Cream the butter and sugar together. Add the rest of the ingredients in the order given.
2. Bake at 350 for 55 minutes. Makes two loaves.
*NOTE* Unless you want blue bread it is pertinent that you gently fold in your blueberries at the very end. Also, I find that using frozen blueberries lessens the color bleeding, and makes them a lot easier to fold in without accidentally mashing them.
