Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 4 ripe bananas (about 2 cups mashed)
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease two 9-inch loaf pans with baking spray or line them with parchment paper for easy removal.

  2. Cream Butter and Sugar

    In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This usually takes about 3–4 minutes.

  3. Add Eggs and Vanilla

    Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract until everything is well incorporated.

  4. Mix in the Bananas

    Add the mashed ripe bananas and continue mixing until smooth and creamy.

  5. Add Dry Ingredients

    Stir in the flour, baking soda, kosher salt, and cinnamon. Mix only until no dry flour remains. Avoid overmixing to keep the bread tender.

  6. Fold in the Sour Cream

    Gently fold the sour cream into the batter until evenly distributed. The batter should be thick and creamy.

  7. Fill the Pans

    Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared loaf pans and smooth the tops.

  8. Bake

    Bake for approximately 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.

  9. Cool

    Allow the loaves to cool in the pans for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
