Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup salted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 ½ cups ripe banana, mashed and packed (about 3 bananas)
  • ½ cup sour cream, room temperature

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan.
  • Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, and then set aside.
  • In a mixing bowl, beat the butter, sugar, and vanilla until creamy. Then beat in the eggs.
  • Add the banana and beat until combined.
  • Stir in the sour cream until mixed.
  • Add the flour mixture and stir by hand or at the lowest mixer speed until mixed, taking care not to overmix.
  • Add the batter to the prepared pan.
  • Bake for 50-55 minutes until golden brown or an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Check the bread after 40 minutes. If the top is brown enough, add a sheet of aluminum foil (sprayed with cooking spray) to the top of the pan.
  • Cool the pan on a cooling rack for 10 minutes. Use a knife to loosen the bread from the sides of the pan. Then turn the bread on the cooling rack for a few minutes before slicing it.

Notes

Optional

Add 1 cup of chopped nuts such as pecans or walnuts to the batter when you add the sour cream.

Yield

This loaf of banana bread makes about 12 slices.
