Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium Ripe bananas
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 2 Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.75 cup Chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)
- 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt or sour cream
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
Peel the bananas and mash them in a large mixing bowl until smooth. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. This can be done with a hand mixer or a stand mixer.
Add the eggs, one at a time, to the butter mixture, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the mashed bananas, Greek yogurt or sour cream, and chopped nuts until evenly distributed.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Enjoy your delicious Banana Nut Bread Cake plain or with a spread of butter or cream cheese!
