Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (softened)
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups Bananas (overripe, mashed)
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (optional, such as walnuts or pecans)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the eggs, one at a time, to the butter-sugar mixture, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Stir in the mashed bananas and sour cream until the mixture is well combined.

Step 6

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 7

If desired, fold in the chopped nuts gently.

Step 8

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 10

Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
