Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large Ripe bananas
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 50 grams Light brown sugar, packed
- 115 grams Unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 120 grams Sour cream
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cups Optional mix-ins (e.g., chocolate chips, nuts)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth using a fork or potato masher.
Add the granulated sugar, light brown sugar, and melted butter to the mashed bananas. Mix until well combined.
Stir in the eggs, vanilla extract, and sour cream, making sure the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula or wooden spoon. Do not overmix; just stir until the batter comes together.
If using mix-ins like chocolate chips or nuts, fold them into the batter at this stage.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
