Banana Bread
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup white sugar (sometimes I add half brown sugar, half white)
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup plain yogurt (or sour cream or milk with 1 T. lemon juice when I don't have it)
2 large bananas, mashed
Optional - sometimes I add chopped nuts, about 1/2 cup, but my kids and I prefer it without them.
Beat the butter with the sugar until creamy. Add eggs and vanilla and mix thoroughly. Mix together flour, baking soda and salt, and then add to mix. Fold through the sour cream and bananas.
Put into a greased loaf pan and bake at 350 deg F for 60 minutes.
