Introduction

Just like Grandma used to make, with a modern alteration--Truvia Cane Sugar Blend for baking replaces half the brown sugar. Just like Grandma used to make, with a modern alteration--Truvia Cane Sugar Blend for baking replaces half the brown sugar.
Number of Servings: 10

Ingredients

    2 cups whole wheat or all-purpose flour
    3/4 tsp baking soda
    1/2 tsp iodized salt
    1/4 cup salted butter, softened (I use Kerrygold)
    1/2 cup golden brown cane sugar
    1/4 cup Truvia Cane Sugar Blend (for baking)
    2 large eggs
    1-1/2 cup mashed ripe banana (about 3 bananas)
    1/3 cup sour cream
    1 tsp vanilla extract

    cooking spray with flour
    a 9x5 non-stick bread baking pan
    an electric hand-mixer with beater blades
    3 mixing bowls
    a whisk
    a rubber spatula

Directions

Combine flour, baking soda, and salt in bowl; stir with whisk. Cream butter and sugars with electric mixer at medium speed for 1 minute. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. In another bowl, combine mashed banana (do this first with fork in bowl) , sour cream, and vanilla extract--beat until blended. Stir the creamed butter/sugar into the banana-sour cream-vanilla extract mixture with spatula.
Add flour mixture, beating at low speed until just moistened. Pour batter into greased 9x5 pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour (you may do the toothpick test, my grandma never did). Cool baking pan 10 minutes on cooling rack, turn over to release bread, and cool completely on rack.
