Ingredients
- 1/2 C unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 C granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 2 C all purpose flour
- 1 1/2 C banana, roughly 3 bananas
- 1/4 C sour cream
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Lightly grease a 1lb loaf pan (9x5-inches) with baking spray. Liner prepared baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang on the two longest sides. Set aside.
- Mash bananas until smooth. Measure out 1 1/2 cups total. Set aside.
- In a large bowl or stand mixer, cream together butter and sugar. Mix in one egg at a time, followed by vanilla, salt, cinnamon and baking soda. Scrape your bowl as needed. Alternate additions of flour, banana and sour cream. Mix until just combined and no streaks remain.
- Transfer batter into prepared baking pan. Use a small offset spatula to level off the top.
- Bake at 350°F. for 70-75 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out with only a few moist crumbs. Bake time may vary from one oven to the next. Begin checking around 65 minutes and continue monitoring.
- Cool in pan for roughly 60 minutes. Using the parchment overhang, carefully pull up and outwards to remove the loaf from the pan. Transfer the loaf to a wire rack to cool completely. The loaf (with parchment paper) may be placed in a gallon size bag to continue cooling after roughly the 2 hour mark out of the oven.
- When fully cooled, slice and store in an airtight container for up to a week. Banana bread may also be frozen.
