peanut butter and jelly

Banana bread is a quick bread (meaning it doesn’t use yeast). It has a pleasant banana flavour and is the best way to get rid of those ripe bananas no one wants to eat. It also has a sweet strudel topping that you don’t have to put on, but I reccommend it. This is a recipe that is so good, you will probably want to buy bananas just to let them ripen and make some banana bread!

• 1/4 cup oil
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup mashed banana
• 1/4 cup sour cream
• 1/8 cup milk
• 1/2 tsp vanilla
• 1 cup flour
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt

1. Mix the oil, sugar, egg and banana in a large bowl.
2. In a separate bowl mix the sour cream, milk and vanilla.
3. In another bowl mix the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
4. Add the second two bowls alternately to the first bowl. Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan.

For the strudel topping:

• 1tbsp coconut
• 1 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 tbsp white sugar

5.  Sprinkle the topping over the batter.

6.  Bake in a 350° oven for 50-60 mins or until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cool at least ten minutes before cutting.
