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!
