A Basic Banana Bread that's soft, fluffy, and exploding with banana flavor!
Share:
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (4 ounces) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 eggs, at room temperature
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 dashes of nutmeg (optional)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 4 large, ripe bananas, mashed
- 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons sour cream (full-fat is preferred)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a loaf pan with cooking spray or butter it the old fashioned way; set aside.
- In a large bowl combine the melted butter and sugar; beat well. Add the vanilla and eggs; beat until fully combined; set aside.
- In a separate medium-sized bowl combine the flour, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon; stir well to combine.
- Add the flour combination to the wet ingredients and mix until half way combined - careful not to over mix here! Fold in the bananas and sour cream. stir smooth. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set - a tooth pick inserted should come out clean, or with just a few crumbs clinging on.
- Allow the banana bread to cool for 10 minutes in the pan before transferring it to a cooling rack to cool completely. Once cooled, slice and serve.
- I enjoy this plain, with a pat of butter, or a smear of raspberry preserves.
- Enjoy!
