My best attempt to re-create my grandma's amazing recipe. I'm pretty sure she didn't use sour cream but I found it works out very well.

Baked perfectly!I have to say, I had to alter the recipe a little because I didn't have maple syrup so I used local honey (not the chinese bear stuff) and the mixture was a tad soupy so I added a little more flour bit by bit until it was thicker (in the end, maybe a little over 2 cups in total)Also, I wanted to avoid an issue I have with banana bread being a little too done on the bottom yet having a small gooey area on the top so instead of baking it on the MIDDLE rack, I baked it on the top rack (leaving room for air circulation and the loaf rising) and it was a total success!!I can't wait to make this again and impress my friends!!Great recipe, thanks for sharing!!❤️❤️❤️

First Attempt: Went well. I will probably add more vanilla and butter to the next batch.Second Attempt: Better. Added extra vanilla and butter. Decided to try brown sugar and liked the results.Third Attempt: Reduced oil and added sour cream for moisture. Great results! Cooked these for 30 minutes in muffin pans.
