This banana bread is tender, extra moist, and enriched with creamy sour cream for a subtle tang and silkiness. It’s easy to make, forgiving, and perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 ¾ cups (220g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • ½ cup (120ml) sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans
  • Optional: ½ cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until mostly smooth with some small chunks remaining.
  4. Add sugar, melted and cooled butter, eggs, sour cream, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Mix gently until combined.
  5. Slowly fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a rubber spatula. Avoid overmixing; combine until no large streaks of flour remain.
  6. If using, fold in chopped nuts or chocolate chips.
  7. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top lightly.
  8. Bake for 55-65 minutes, starting to check at 55 minutes by inserting a toothpick into the center. It should come out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter.
  9. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack and cool at least 30 minutes before slicing.

Notes

If the top browns too quickly, tent the bread loosely with foil halfway through baking. Use very ripe bananas for best flavor and moisture. Avoid overmixing the batter to prevent toughness. Let the bread cool completely before slicing to avoid gummy texture. For dairy-free, substitute butter with coconut oil and use dairy-free sour cream. For gluten-free, replace all-purpose flour with a gluten-free baking blend.
