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

This Sour Cream Banana Bread Recipe takes basic banana bread and kicks it up a notch making it even more moist and delicious than traditional banana bread.

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.

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
