Ingredients

• 3 large ripe bananas
• 113 grams unsalted butter
• 150 grams granulated sugar
• 50 grams brown sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 250 grams all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 120 grams sour cream
• 100 grams chopped walnuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth and set aside.

Step 3

Melt the unsalted butter in a microwave or on the stovetop and allow it to cool slightly, then mix it into the mashed bananas.

Step 4

Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract to the banana and butter mixture. Whisk until fully combined.

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 into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 7

Fold in the sour cream to add moisture and richness to the batter. If using chopped walnuts, gently mix them in at this stage.

Step 8

Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean or with only a few moist crumbs.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Slice and enjoy your Yummy Banana Bread on its own or with a spread of butter!
