A slice of warm Sour Cream Banana Bread and a hot cup of coffee is a great way to start out any morning.
Yes, I know. More banana. I just can’t help it. Every single time we go to the grocery store, I pick up another bunch of bananas.
They must be like a magnet to my shopping cart because even if they are not on the list, or we don’t need them, I still buy more.
Although, we usually freeze them for a Skinny Cherry Banana Smoothie if I know I’m not going to get a chance to bake something that week.
Did you laugh at that too? I almost always have time to bake something. It’s definitely my stress reliever when life gets a little crazy!
This week we had a few extra ripe bananas sitting on the counter. (Shocking, I know.) The ones that everyone in the house thinks are completely rotten, but you know they are perfect for a loaf of banana bread. Yeah, those were the ones.
It’s a good thing bananas are so cheap. At least when I do have to toss a few very black bananas, I don’t feel too bad about it. Now grapes on the other hand…
Have you bought a bag of grapes lately? It will cost you an arm and a leg. Ok, maybe I’m exaggerating slightly. But seriously, they are a little pricier than bananas.
My daughter grabbed a bag of red seedless grapes the other day at Walmart, and I said sure without even thinking. I mean, she was asking for fruit, not candy bars. I wasn’t going to question it.
At least not until they rang up for $9. Those kiddos better eat ever single grape…even the small moldy ones. #kidding #notkidding
Back to the ripe bananas on the counter. Usually when I make banana bread, I add all the things to it and make it over the top.
Have you seen this Java Twix Banana Bread or the Chocolate Cookies and Cream Banana Bread? Outrageous, right? But totally delicious!
Today though, I was just feeling like plain banana bread. I know, right? Something must have been wrong with me.
I admit that most days I want to add craziness and fun to anything I’m baking, but then there are days that I want plain Jane. This bread will remind you of the bread your grandma used to make.
A slice of this warm Sour Cream Banana Bread slathered in butter is pure comfort food. Definitely save your ripe bananas for this easy breakfast treat!

LOL “even the small moldy ones” I had to laugh and yes they are way to pricey!!! Love all your versions of banana bread and it is pretty much a staple at my house! 🙂

Hahaha! I was kidding about the moldy grapes…or was I? LOL! Banana bread is just such a fun thing to play around with and do different things! We always have bananas on hand!

I love a good plain banana bread and my little man does, too. I always add a touch of cinnamon and sub brown sugar for part of the white sugar. Moldy grapes are gross!! Lol
Jocelyn says
Brown sugar and cinnamon are a great way to add a bit of flavor to banana bread. LOL I agree moldy grapes are gross…my kids better eat them quickly…the good ones, that is!
Jessica @ A Kitchen Addiction says

Jocelyn says
I totally agree with you. Most of the time I jazz things up, so the simple easy recipes get devoured around here!
