Banana Bread Ingredients

1 (28-ounce) box of Cafe Du Monde Beignet Mix

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1/4 cup brown sugar

2 large eggs

3 medium-sized ripe bananas, mashed

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled

1/3 cup sour cream

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Banana Bread Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350’F (175’C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with butter or cooking spray.

In a large bowl, whisk together the Cafe Du Monde Beignet Mix, granulated sugar, and brown sugar.

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and stir in the mashed bananas, melted butter, and sour cream.

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.

Fold in the chopped nuts (if using) and ground cinnamon.

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Bake for 60-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.

Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove it from the pan and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Slice and serve. Enjoy your delicious and moist banana bread with added flavor and texture from Cafe Du Monde Beignet Mix!
