Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large ripe bananas
- 113 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 50 grams brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 250 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 120 grams sour cream
- 100 grams chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease 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 set aside.
Melt the unsalted butter in a microwave or on the stovetop and allow it to cool slightly, then mix it into the mashed bananas.
Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract to the banana and butter mixture. Whisk until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the sour cream to add moisture and richness to the batter. If using chopped walnuts, gently mix them in at this stage.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean or with only a few moist crumbs.
Remove the loaf pan from the oven and allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Slice and enjoy your Yummy Banana Bread on its own or with a spread of butter!
