Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large ripe bananas
- 115 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 50 grams brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 250 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 60 grams sour cream (or Greek yogurt)
- 80 grams chopped walnuts or chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and lightly flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
Melt the unsalted butter in the microwave or on the stovetop, then let it cool slightly. Add the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar to the mashed bananas and mix well.
Crack the eggs into the banana mixture one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Stir in the pure vanilla extract.
In a separate medium bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Do not overmix to avoid a dense bread.
Fold in the sour cream (or Greek yogurt) to add extra moisture and tenderness to the batter. If desired, gently fold in the chopped walnuts or chocolate chips.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Smooth the top with a spatula if needed.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the banana bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer the loaf to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
