Mini Banana Bread Recipe

Got ripe bananas? Put them to use with this delicious moist Mini Banana Bread Recipe. This recipe yields 8 mini loaves.

I LOVE a good banana bread recipe! Nothing too fancy either. I do not care for nuts, chocolate chips and so on, a simple banana bread recipe with hints of banana is all I need to be happy!

For this recipe, you will need sour cream. The sour cream is what keeps these loaves moist with every bite.

First, melt the butter in the microwave, add eggs and sugar. Next, add the remainder of the wet ingredients – sour cream, banana, vanilla extract. Mix the wet in with the dry ingredients until everything is fully incorporated. Finally, using an ice cream scoop, scoop the batter into the baking tray and bake for thirty minutes.

Let’s bake …

What Does Lactose Free Mean?

First and foremost, I try my best to incorporate lactose free ingredients in all my recipes. These ingredients can include, butter, milk, cream cheese etc. With that being said, sometimes it is hard to make an entire recipe using ALL lactose free ingredients. For example, my ice cream recipes include, condensed milk- NOT LACTOSE FREE.

Contrary to what some may believe, lactose – free is not the same as dairy free. Lactose – free still contains milk, however, there is a certain component, I believe a type of sugar (I may be wrong) where the lactose is removed from dairy, making it lactose – free. Dairy free on the other hand, contains ZERO milk. Alternatives for dairy free are almond milk, oat milk, soy milk etc. You can learn more about the differences here.

Which Ingredients Are Lactose Free?

• Butter – I used Lactantia lactose free butter.
• Sour Cream – I used lactose free Gay Lea brand.
