•BEST EVER Banana Bread•

For my sister's wedding we bought banana's to dip in the chocolate fountain and my mom bought WAY too many.  So she gave us a big bunch of them, which I added to our already overflowing basket of banana's at home!!  They slowly started turing very ripe and my kids don't like them unless they are "fresh!"  Well I had to do something with them and what better thing to bake than a batch of banana bread AND banana chocolate chip muffins - YUM!!  My SIL Jodie (from her SIL Katie) gave me this recipe and it's the best I have ever had!  Plus it calls for ALOT of bananas and makes plently...which is a good thing because we have been devouring them!!

BEST EVER Banana Bread and Muffins --
1 c. Butter
3 c. Sugar
6 Eggs
3 c. Sour Cream
4 tsp. Soda
2 tsp. Vanilla
4-5 Mashed Bananas
1 tsp. Salt
5 c. Flour
1 pkg Chocolate Chips (optional)**

Cream together the butter, sugar and eggs.  Mix together in a seperate bowl the sour cream and soda, let stand until foamy.  Combine and add remaining ingredients and mix well.  Place in 4 greased and floured 9x5 in. bread pans.  Bake 350* for 50 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out clean.

TIPS:
Low fat varieties of sour cream and butter works well.
Can be halved.
**I placed half of the mixture in 2 bread pans WITHOUT chocolate chips and baked for 50 min.
Than I added 1 bag of choco chips to remaining batter and made muffins.  I cooked them for about 10-12 minutes.  It made approx. 40 muffins:)  These are SoOoOo good and we have already finished off half of them....they made a GREAT breakfast for my kiddos!!
