Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large ripe bananas
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 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
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 0.5 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
- 0.5 cup chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas until smooth using a fork or potato masher.
Melt the unsalted butter and add it to the mashed bananas. Stir until well combined.
Mix in the granulated sugar and brown sugar, then stir in the eggs and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Stir in the sour cream to keep the batter moist and tender. If desired, fold in the chopped walnuts and/or chocolate chips at this stage.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the banana bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy the yummmmmiest banana bread ever!
