Notes
- Sour cream can be substituted with full-fat plain yogurt; avoid flavored or sweetened yogurt to keep texture and taste consistent.
- Use 9x5-inch loaf pans for the recipe; adjust baking time for different pan sizes accordingly.
- Freeze cooled banana bread wrapped in plastic wrap or foil placed in a freezer bag for up to three months; thaw overnight at room temperature.
- To make muffins, fill greased or lined muffin tins two-thirds full and bake 18-20 minutes for regular muffins, yielding about 36; jumbo muffins take about 18.
