Open Container: Banana Bread

The holidays are over and I have all these open containers in my frig.

And you thought I was talking about alcohol....shame on you!!

I did an inventory of the refrigerator contents, and the freezer contents.
  • A partial container of sour cream
  • A partial container of eggnog
  • Four frozen bananas
This is where the possible alcohol thought could come into play.

Have you ever seen a loaf of bread do that?

There was a serious accident in the oven and the bread was charged with "open container".

This is what I did to create this bread:

With all the different flavors going on in this bread, we found out that if you smear butter on a slice of this, it is great.

I also have plans for this banana bread.

Make sure you keep tuned-in this week.

Open Container Banana Bread

2 large eggs
1 c. brown sugar
1/3 c. vegetable oil (canola)
4 ripe bananas
2 tsp. vanilla extract
3/4 tsp. brandy extract
2 2/3 c. all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1/4 c. sour cream
3/4 c. eggnog
chopped walnuts (opt)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In a mixer bowl, beat together the eggs, sugar and oil. Blend in the mashed banana, vanilla, and
brandy. Mix in the cinnamon and nutmeg.
In a small mixing bowl, sift the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Mix quickly into banana mixture.
Whisk together the sour cream and eggnog in a separate bowl. Gently stir into banana mixture, mixing until just combined.
Pour the batter into a well greased 9 x 5 loaf pan (can divide in half and use two loaf pans) . Sprinkle with chopped walnuts.
Bake for 1 hour, or until wooden pick comes out clean. When my timer reached 1 hour I had to keep adding 10 minutes until it was done. It took mine about an hour and a half, but start checking at the end of 1 hour.

Good Luck~Happy Eating~Enjoy
