When I worked at our church office a few years ago, a church member, Bridget used to bring banana bread for the staff to enjoy. A few years later at "My Favorite Things" Wedding Shower (leave it up to Zerita to come up with that shower theme - This just in: Kristie came up with the theme.) Bridget gave me the recipe with my gift since she knew it was one of my "favorite things." The secret is the sprinkling of brown sugar on the top before you bake.

Bridget's Banana Bread
1/2 cup butter
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
2 ripe bananas
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. baking soda
1/3 cup sour cream
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup brown sugar

Cream butter and sugar. Add eggs and bananas and beat. Stir in sour cream, vanilla, soda, and flour. Pour into greased and floured pan. Sprinkle with brown sugar. Bake for 1 hour at 325 degrees.
