Easy Banana Bread Recipe

Not too long ago we were visiting Caroline’s family in Austin and her sister in law Jill had made some banana bread. It was delicious! When we finally had to push off, she sent us back on the road with some. It kept us going for many, many miles and so we’ve nicknamed it “Vanana Bread.” Once we got home, we asked for the recipe because we think it’s the perfect road trip snack! Here it is!

Banana Bread Ingredients:

1 cup sugar

1/2 cup (1 stick) of butter
2 eggs
1 1/2 cup flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 1/2 tsp salt
3 ripe bananas
1/2 cup sour cream
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup chopped nuts

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Grease your pan.
Mix the butter and sugar until it’s light and fluffy.
Add eggs and beat them.
Whisk flour, soda and salt together in a bowl.
Add contents of bowl to butter mixture until it’s combined.
Add bananas, sour cream and vanilla.
Mix.
Stir in nuts and pour into pan.
Bake for 70 minutes.
Let cool for 10 minutes.
Take the loaf out of the pan to finish cooling!

Banana Bread Recipe Recap

Not only is this treat delicious warm right out of the oven but it’s also super tasty when it’s at room temperature or served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. We also think it’d make yummy french toast. Oh and it goes great with coffee in the morning and rum at happy hour! It’s no wonder it’s become one of our favorite van life snacks.
