Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups Bananas (overripe, mashed)
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (optional, such as walnuts or pecans)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs, one at a time, to the butter-sugar mixture, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Stir in the mashed bananas and sour cream until the mixture is well combined.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
If desired, fold in the chopped nuts gently.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
