Banana Bread with Sour Cream
Description
This banana bread recipe includes mashed very ripe bananas, softened butter, sugar, eggs, sour cream, vanilla, flour, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, and optionally chopped walnuts. The sour cream adds moisture and slight tang, contributing to a soft and tender crumb. The cinnamon enriches the flavor with warm spice notes, while the walnuts provide crunch and nutty contrast if included.
The batter is baked in loaf pans until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, resulting in a golden crust surrounding a moist interior. The overall texture is soft and rich without being dense.
This bread is ideal for slicing and serving as a breakfast treat or a midday snack and pairs well with butter or cream cheese. It keeps well at room temperature when wrapped and can be stored for several days.
For best results, use very ripe bananas, increasing the count if they are smaller to maintain moisture and sweetness. The recipe yields two loaves, allowing for sharing or extended enjoyment.
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup butter softened
- 1 1/4 cups white sugar
- 2 egg
- 4 large banana mashed, very ripe

- Divide the batter evenly between prepared loaf pans. Bake for 1 hour or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Notes
