½ cup oil
4 large ripe bananas
2 Tbsp sour cream
2 tsp vanilla

Optional Toppings (see directions for recipe specifics):

Banana Bread:

Preheat oven 350˚F. Sift flour, baking soda and salt in a bowl and set aside. Mash bananas in separate bowl. With a fitted paddle in a stand mixer, beat sugar and eggs for 3-5 minutes. Add in oil and mashed bananas and mix until just incorporated. Then mix in sour cream and vanilla. Slowly add in dry ingredients – don’t over mix.

Prepare each cavity with baking spray with flour. Fill each mini loaf cavity ¾ full and add desired toppings from below*. Bake 20-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out mostly clean and the loaves are golden brown. Makes about 8-9 mini loaves

If making candied oranges from scratch, prepare desired recipe. If using store-bought, add candied slices to top of loaf batter before baking.
