Description
A moist and flavorful banana bread recipe made with sour cream.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 3 medium)
- 1/2 cup sour cream
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a small bowl, combine the mashed bananas and sour cream.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients alternately with the banana-sour cream mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
- Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Ensure your bananas are very ripe for the best flavor and sweetness.
- You can add 1/2 cup of chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the batter if desired.
