Sour cream makes everything better.  I really believe that!  It makes things moist & creamy, so I tend to add it to a lot of things.  Today’s recipe is a super moist banana bread, with blueberries, because they pair well together.  If you are making banana bread & want more than just the typical banana bread or cake, then try this bread.  My son scarfed it down, & I may or may not have had more than my fair share.  Plus the flavors are so light & fruity that it’s a great to lighten your mood for Spring.

  14. Just baked this blueberry banana bread with my 2-year-old! I just started homeschooling and wanted to make something fun and yummy for “B” week. This is perfect. I did one large loaf, and I had to decrease the heat to 300 at one hour because it was getting very dark on the outside, but was completely wet in the middle. After that, I just kept checking it for doneness. I took it out around 90 minutes total, so 60 minutes at 350 and 30 minutes at 300. It is so moist and flavorful! Next time, I might try 70 or 80 minutes at 325.
