Ingredients

Servings
  • 1/2 cup butter unsalted, 4 ounces, melted
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract pure
  • 2 egg at room temperature
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 nutmeg dashes, optional
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 4 banana large, ripe, mashed
  • 1/2 cup sour cream full-fat is preferred, 2 tablespoons

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. In a large bowl combine the melted butter and sugar; beat well. Add the vanilla and eggs; beat until fully combined; set aside.
  3. In a separate medium-sized bowl combine the flour, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon; stir well to combine.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. I enjoy this plain, with a pat of butter, or a smear of raspberry preserves.
  7. Enjoy!
