Servings: 10 servings
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 4 medium bananas mashed with a fork (about 2 cups) ripe to over-ripe, or frozen-cut or mashed
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°.
- Prepare a loaf pan with a baking spray or shortening and flour. My pan is 10x5.
- In the bowl of a mixer beat the butter with brown sugar until smooth, then add in the eggs and mix to combine.
- Add in the bananas, sour cream, and vanilla and mix on low to medium speed until the ingredients are incorporated.
- Add in flour, baking soda, and salt, mix on low to blend, then on medium until combined. Do not overmix, just blend until everything is combined.
- Bake in a prepared loaf pan at 350° for 1 hour. Be sure to set your timer a little early so you can test to see when it'll be done especially if your pan is a different size. The internal temp of the banana bread should be 200°.
- Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then turn it onto a cooling rack until it's warm but no longer hot.
- Serve by itself add butter or cream cheese, for an added kick add some cinnamon sugar.
