Quick and Easy Sour Cream Banana Bread
It’s always handy to have a really quick and easy recipe for banana bread up your sleeve, for those times when you have friends popping in for tea or for when you have some really black and over-ripe bananas sitting in your fruit bowl. Here’s a lovely recipe given to me by an American friend, who uses sour cream to lighten the loaf. You could use creme fraiche as an alternative.
