Sour Cream Banana Bread Recipe

Sour cream makes this Sour Cream Banana Bread Recipe incredibly moist.

The not so secret ingredient to this Sour Cream Banana Bread Recipe? Yep, sour cream. It adds moisture and highlights the sweetness with its light tanginess and will make you a believer. Kick your banana bread up a notch and give it a try with or without your favorite nuts. Bake an extra loaf and treat a friend or neighbor.

Banana bread is a tried and true way to use up leftover or overripe bananas, but that shouldn’t detract from the deliciousness of this treat. This makes a very dense loaf of bread. It can be served for breakfast, a snack, or even dessert.

Sour Cream Banana Bread Recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 1/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter, softened
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 cup (about 3) ripe bananas, mashed
• 1 cup chopped walnuts, toasted and chopped (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a 9×5 loaf pan with butter and flour. Tap to remove excess flour.
2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a separate mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, vanilla extract, and sour cream. Mix in bananas alternating with flour mixture until combined.
4. Stir in nuts if desired.
5. Place in the oven and bake for 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. If the top begins to darken too much, tent with aluminum foil.
6. Cool for 5 to 10 minutes in the pan before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
7. My favorite way to enjoy it is warm from the oven with a little (okay a lot ) of butter.
