Banana Loaf

You will need:

• 2 eggs
• 3 Tbl. yogurt or sour cream
• 1 t. baking soda
• ½ cup butter or margarine
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 tsp. vanilla
• 1 ½ cup flour (sifted)
• ½ tsp. ginger
• 4 Tbl. Grand Marnier or brandy (optional)
• 2 cups mashed bananas (4-6 medium)
• ½ cup golden raisins
• ½ cup slivered almonds or walnuts

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees:

Crack the eggs into a small cup and beat with a fork until fluffy.

Mix the yogurt and baking soda in a separate bowl and set aside.

Combine the butter, sugar and vanilla in a large mixing bowl.

Add the flour, eggs, and yogurt mixture.

Fold in the remaining ingredients.

Pour into a greased loaf pan.

Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour, then reduce the heat to 250 degrees and bake for an additional 35 minutes, or until the bread is firm in the middle.

Cool on a wire rack.

Wrap in aluminum foil or plastic wrap and keep refrigerated to prevent spoilage.

This is deliciously moist, rich banana bread that will be a treat for the family.

Enjoy!
