Servings: persons

3 whole To 4 Whole Ripe Bananas (Thaw If Frozen)
1-1/2 cup White Sugar
1/2 cups Butter, Melted
3 whole Large Eggs
1-1/2 cup Flour
1 teaspoon Baking Soda (heaping)
1/2 teaspoons Salt
1/2 teaspoons Nutmeg
1/2 teaspoons Cinnamon, Heaping
4 Tablespoons Sour Cream
1-1/2 teaspoon Vanilla
_____
FOR THE STREUSEL TOPPING:
2-1/2 Tablespoons Packed Brown Sugar
2 Tablespoons White Sugar
1-1/2 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon

1
Preheat oven to 325u00b0. Spray 2 loaf pans with baking spray (oil + flour)-I use Baker's Joy in the blue can.
2
In a large bowl, add your mushy bananas, white sugar and melted butter. Use a fork to mash them all together. Don't worry about the banana lumps, it's all good! Add eggs and mix with a fork to combine. Add all the dry ingredients and mix with a large spoon or spatula to combine (no need to break out the mixer for this one!). Now add your sour cream and vanilla.
3
Divide mixture between your 2 loaf pans. (It's ok that it only fills them each 1/2 way up-this loaf will rise! I made the mistake once of putting all the batter in one pan. Total overflow to the max!)
4
For the streusel topping, combine brown sugar, white sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Sprinkle generously on top of each unbaked loaf.
5
Bake at 325u00b0 for about an hour (check after 50 minutes in case your oven runs hot), until a toothpick inserted in center of the loaf comes out clean.
6
This banana bread is so moist and flavorful, you'll never look back!
