Banana Bread With 2 Bananas
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup butter, softened (unsalted preferred )
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg (room temperature)
- 2 large bananas (very ripe)
- 1/2 cup sour cream (full fat preferred )
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups all purpose flour*
- 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
- Generously grease a loaf pan that is approximately 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 inches in size.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugar. Add in eggs and mix until combined. Add sour cream, mashed bananas and vanilla and stir until combined.
- Add flour, cinnamon, baking soda and salt to the batter and stir just until combined. Do not over mix.
- Transfer batter to prepared loaf pan band bake for approximately 1 hour or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If bread starts to brown too much before finishing baking, gently cover with aluminum foil.
- Remove from oven and place on wire cooling rack to cool for at least 20 minutes. Then if desired remove from pan and allow to cool completely. Alternately bread can be kept in pan, cutting out slices as you use them.
Notes
*Flour: Measure by stirring, spooning into baking cup then leveling off. Do not scoop with measuring cup which will compact flour, give you more flour than you need, and lead to dry, dense bread.
Storage: You have a few different options when it comes to storing your banana nut bread. You can store it covered, at room temperature for 2-3 days. Another option is to store it tightly covered in the refrigerator, which I find gives me more like 5-7 days out of a loaf.
