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
• 0.33 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt)
• 0.5 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
• 0.5 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Set them aside.

Step 3

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter and let it cool slightly.

Step 4

Add the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar to the mashed bananas. Mix until well combined.

Step 5

Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring they're fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Stir until just combined; avoid overmixing.

Step 8

Fold in the sour cream (or Greek yogurt) to create a creamy batter.

Step 9

If desired, gently fold in the chopped walnuts and mini chocolate chips for added texture and flavor.

Step 10

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 11

Bake for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top browns too quickly, cover it loosely with foil during the last 15 minutes of baking.

Step 12

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

Step 13

Slice, serve, and enjoy your 'Sassy S Awesome Banana Bread'!
