    To answer the question about how to bake muffins I bake them at 400 or 425 degrees for 15 or 20 min. Hope that helps. - 7/16/09

    The muffin idea is great. The other day, I took a banana bread recipe, changed out the brown sugar for 1/3 cup molasses, and added walnuts instead of choc. chips. I will have to try this recipe though. It sounds really delicious. - 7/16/09

    I made this recipe and everyone loved it. The only thing I baked before this was not edible; my cats, and the birds outside would not eat it. This recipe is delicious and very easy to make. - 5/13/08

    Sounds very similar to the recipe we use. The sour cream helps give it that extra moistness that is sometime lacking in banana bread. Yum! - 9/20/09

    I'd prefer to make this as muffins, but could someone tell me how to change the baking time (and temp)? The original recipe bakes for 1 hour, but that can't be right for muffins! - 7/16/09

    What size of loaf pan do you use for this recipe which says to use 2 loaf pans.
    Is it all right to use 1 - 9" x 5" loaf pan and bake for 1 hour.
    Thanks.

    Better than expected. I thought it would be too sweet and too rich, because of the sugar and honey and then the sour cream. But it has a smooth pleasant taste and is not too sweet. - 2/27/13

    omgosh...the kitchen smells heavenly. the only things i changed were using slenda brown sugar replacement and fat free sour cream...it's what i had on hand. i've never put chocolate chips in banana bread, but since i love chocolate...i figured what the heck :-) ... truly delicious and very moist. - 4/7/10

    Everyone at worked loved this! I skipped the chocolate and used whole wheat flour and I Can't Believe It's Not Butter baking sticks and it turned out great. Also, made one big loaf instead of two small. Had to cook it a little bit longer. - 9/25/09

    Why is it called tea bread when there is no tea? Because it's served at tea time (or with tea). - 9/22/09

    My old neighbor used to make banana bread with chocolate chips in it instead of nuts - she didn't like nuts in things... it was always "to die for" - heat a slice up for a few seconds in the microwave and pour some milk or lowfat vanilla ice cream on top - EXCELLENT! - 9/21/09

    I can't wait to try this. I make banana bread often but not with sour cream in it. My blueberry muffins use sour cream and it makes it very moist so it should do the same for the banana bread. - 9/20/09
