Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium ripe bananas
- 0.5 cup light sour cream
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth using a fork or potato masher.
Add the light sour cream, granulated sugar, unsweetened applesauce, egg, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Stir until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon (if using).
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently with a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the loaf tender.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
Remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice into 12 pieces and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
