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
• 0.5 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 or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Melt the unsalted butter and add it to the mashed bananas. Stir until well combined.

Step 4

Mix in the granulated sugar and brown sugar, then stir in the eggs and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk 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. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 7

Stir in the sour cream to keep the batter moist and tender. If desired, fold in the chopped walnuts and/or chocolate chips at this stage.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy the yummmmmiest banana bread ever!
