Makes one loaf
Ingredients
1/2 cup butter
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 eggs, beaten
2 teaspoons brandy, bourbon, vanilla extract, almond extract - any of them will work
2 1/2 super ripe bananas, they’ll be softer and easier to use, but also will REALLY taste like bananas
1/2 cup sour cream
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup sliced almonds, walnuts, pecans
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon white sugar, optional
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 and spray a loafpan.
Melt butter and add to brown sugar In a large bowl - mix until well incorpotated
Add eggs, brandy or whatever, 2 of the bananas broken up and sour cream - mix well to combine - mashing bananas as you go
Slowly stir in the flour, baking soda and salt making sure it’s well mixed, then stir in almonds
Put the mixture into the loaf pan, and top with extra banana half pushing down slightly into the batter
Bake 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean, remove from oven and let cool
Remove from pan and sprinkle the banana on top with white sugar, then use a culinary torch to melt the sugar and turn it golden brown on top
