It looks so delicious, Barbara!

Thanks Benita – so nice to hear you love it as much as we do. It’s a 6 cup bundt pan. Here’s an affiliate link https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IOYJ186/?ref=exp_pressurecookingtoday_dp_vv_d

It has a lovely texture (light and not heavy or gummy), while using the least amount of sugar and butter/margarine I have come across in a banana bread recipe. Like you, I used sour cream, but did not add nuts/raisins/chocolate chips, as I am a banana bread purist. This will be my standard recipe going forward.

My question is: what size bundt pan did you use in the photo? You mentioned “half size”, but what does that mean in terms of volume (number of cups?)?

Sounds good but need that info please. Thank you?

Tonight I used this recipe to make pumpkin bread. Win!

A light-in-texture banana bread recipe to use up the predominantly black overripe bananas sitting on my counter. I ended up using 2.5 bananas, low fat sour cream as suggested, and I used half regular flour half almond flour. Cooked in oversize muffin pan for 25 minutes. These were PERFECT.

Thanks Holly – your comment made my day. I have magazine pages from years ago too. I recently made a variation of this muffin that you’ll want to try too. https://www.barbarabakes.com/2014/02/chunky-monkey-banana-muffins/

I, too, have been making this bread since I found it in a Cooking Light Jul/Aug, 1994 issue and it is the best banana bread I’ve ever tasted, let alone made. I keep temporarily losing the magazine page and then finding it again; but it is so stained and ragged after 20 years that I can hardly read it. I’ve been searching for the recipe since the advent of Pinterest where I now store my favorite recipes and had been unable to find it. So thank you again — you just made my day! You made it even more by the one small change in the recipe. Mine says 1 egg and 1 egg white — glad to know you can use 2 eggs instead.

Hi Sara – Mine never sink after they’re out of the oven. It was probably your substitutions or undercooking will cause them to fall too. Glad they were still tasty.
