I don't think I've seen one with my mom's "secret ingredient" (orange juice). EVERY time I make this people ask for the recipe. Not that you can go wrong with any kind of banana bread! It is extremely moist and yummy! Kim

Brown Sugar-Cinnamon Sour Cream Banana Bread by DivaSharon

Preheat oven to 325 degrees

3 cups flour
1 cup white sugar
½ cup light brown sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
¾ tsp. salt
1 ½ tsp. baking powder
1 ½ tsp. baking soda
3 Tbsp. vegetable oil
3 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla
¾ cup orange juice
4 HEAPING TBSP. (1/2 cup) sour cream
3-4 very ripe bananas
1 ½ cups chopped nuts (optional)

Combine dry ingredients. In another bowl, combine beaten eggs, oil, vanilla, orange juice and sour cream. Make a well in center of dry ingredients and mix in liquid ingredients. In small bowl, mash bananas with fork. Continue with hand mixer until pureed and as smooth as possible. Add to batter. Stir in nuts, if desired.

Grease two 9”x5” loaf pans with cooking spray. Divide batter evenly. Pans will be about ¾ full. Bake for 45-50 minutes, checking after 35 minutes with wooden pick. Bread is done when pick comes out slightly wet, not too dry! Do not overbake! Cool in pans for 15 minutes, remove to wire rack and continue to cool. Wrap in plastic when almost cool. Bread will be moister the next day and be shiny/sticky on top.

This recipe is  a favorite wherever I bring it. I thought I posted it, but I can't find it. I'll post it again. My apologies if it is repeated.
