Ingredients
  

Bread Batter
  • 3 ripe bananas mashed
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup butter melted
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Whisk
  • Measuring Cups
  • Spatula
  • Loaf Pan
  • Oven
  • Cooling Rack

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F and prepare loaf pan. Mash bananas until smooth.
  2. Mix sour cream, melted butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla into bananas.
  3. Fold in flour, baking soda, and salt gently for a soft batter.
  4. Pour batter into pan and smooth the top evenly.
  5. Bake until golden and set. Cool before slicing for clean texture.

Notes

For softer texture, avoid overmixing batter. For a slightly crisp crust, bake a few extra minutes. Cool completely before slicing. Add nuts or chocolate chips for variation. Store in an airtight container or freeze slices for longer storage.
