Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar, packed
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup sour cream
- ¾ cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C), creating a welcoming environment for your baking adventure.
Grease your loaf pan well with butter or non-stick spray. Consider lining it with parchment paper for easy removal later.
Take your ripe bananas and mash them until smooth and slightly chunky. This will give your Banana Bread the perfect sweet base.
Add eggs, melted butter, and vanilla to your mashed bananas. Blend everything until it’s a delightful creamy mix.
Whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt in another bowl. This combination sets the foundation for your Banana Bread.
Gently fold the dry mix into the wet ingredients. Keep it light to avoid a dense texture.
Feel free to incorporate chocolate chips or nuts. This is your chance to make the loaf uniquely yours!
Transfer the batter into the loaf pan, smoothing the top with your spatula.
Bake for 55-65 minutes. The mouthwatering smell will fill your kitchen as it approaches perfection.
Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then whisk it out onto a wire rack to cool completely before indulging.
Notes
Use Overripe Bananas
The best Banana Bread comes from using overripe bananas. Their sweetness will make your loaf tender and flavorful.
Storage Tips
Store your Banana Bread wrapped at room temperature for up to three days. For longer storage, consider freezing it.
Serving Suggestions
A warm slice of Banana Bread with a pat of butter or a drizzle of honey can elevate the experience entirely.
