Chocolate Chip Sour Cream Banana Bread
There are a ton of banana bread recipes out there, but I’m not big on banana flavored things. So it took quite a bit of tinkering for me to hit on a banana bread guessipe that I actually crave and make regularly. The combo of white and brown sugar gives it extra depth of flavor,…
