Ingredients

• 3 large ripe bananas
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup brown sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon pure 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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with butter or cooking spray and line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas using a fork or potato masher until smooth.

Step 3

Melt the butter and add it to the mashed bananas. Mix until combined.

Step 4

Stir in the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and well-blended.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.

Step 7

Fold in the sour cream, which helps keep the bread moist. If desired, also fold in the chopped walnuts and/or chocolate chips for extra texture and flavor.

Step 8

Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 10

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Slice and serve the banana bread plain or with a spread of butter, cream cheese, or honey. Enjoy!
