Equipment
- 8.5 x 4.5 inch loaf pan or 9 x 5 inch loaf pan
- Mixing bowls
- Whisk
- Spatula
- Potato masher or fork (for mashing bananas)
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 to 4 ripe bananas mashed (about 1 ¼ cups)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter melted and cooled
- 1/3 cup sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Prepare an 8½ x 4½ inch loaf pan by spraying with nonstick cooking spray or greasing and flouring the bottom and sides. Set aside.
- Whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl.
- Mash bananas in a large bowl until smooth. It's okay to have some small chunks remaining for texture.
- Whisk in sugar, eggs, melted butter, sour cream, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and stir gently until just combined.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. If the bread starts to brown too much on top, tent with foil for the last 10 minutes of baking.
- Cool the bread in the pan for 15 to 20 minutes, then carefully remove from the pan and transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
