This is a riff on a super popular and delicious recipe from the site: Cathy's Banana Bread. This version incorporates other reviewers' suggestions to use a mix of white and brown sugar and to use butter instead of margarine. It also includes a little coconut and cinnamon. The coconut toasts nicely on top, adds great texture, and smells and tastes amazing with the banana and the chocolate.
Ingredients
- 1 cup white sugar
- 0.33 cups packed brown sugar
- 0.25 cups unsalted butter , softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup mashed ripe banana
- 1 cup sour cream
