Banana Bread Recipe
Description
The Banana Bread Recipe starts by preheating the oven and preparing a loaf pan. Dry ingredients—flour, baking soda, and salt—are whisked together separately.
Ripe bananas are mashed and mixed with eggs, sour cream, granulated and brown sugars, melted butter, and vanilla in a larger bowl. The dry ingredients are combined gently with the wet mixture to prevent a dense loaf.
The batter is poured into the greased pan and baked for about an hour or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean, indicating doneness. During baking, covering the bread loosely with foil prevents excessive browning.
After baking, the bread cools slightly in the pan before transferring to a rack to cool completely, ensuring slices hold their shape and texture. The result is a classic banana bread with balanced sweetness and moist crumb.
Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ cups banana about 4 medium, mashed
- 2 large egg
- ½ cup sour cream
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup butter melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a 5"x9" loaf pan. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large bowl, mash the bananas then whisk in the eggs, sour cream, both the sugars, melted butter, and vanilla.
- Mix the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients until they are just combined. Do not over-mix the batter.
- Pour the batter into the loaf pan then bake for 60 to 70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Check the bread after 45 minutes and if it is golden brown on top, tent it loosely with a piece of foil to prevent it from browning too much. Let it cool for 10 minutes in the loaf pan then remove it and cool it completely on a wire rack before slicing it.
