Ingredients

1 1/4 cups mashed ripe bananas (about 3–4 bananas)

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/4 cup brown sugar (optional)

2 large eggs (room temperature)

1/2 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt)

1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted and cooled)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line a 9×5-inch loaf pan.

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.

  • Mash the ripe bananas in a separate bowl until smooth, leaving some small chunks for texture.

  • In a large bowl, mix together granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, sour cream, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.

  • Stir the flour mixture into the wet ingredients, just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.

  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.

  • Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  • Let the banana bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For a fun twist, add 1/2 cup of chocolate chips or 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans to the batter.

  • You can substitute the eggs with flax eggs for a vegan version.

  • For storage, keep the bread at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze it for up to 3 months.
