Ingredients

3 ripe bananas, mashed
1/2 cup sour cream

1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar. Add the mashed bananas, sour cream, eggs, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. If desired, fold in walnuts or chocolate chips.
Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool and Serve: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy!
