How to Make Banana Sour Cream Bread

  1. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Grease and flour two 9x5 inch loaf pans, or spray with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Sprinkle the bottom and sides of each prepared pan with a cinnamon-sugar mixture (about 1 tablespoon per pan).
  3. Set prepared pans aside.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  5. Beat in 2 large eggs, then stir in 1 ½ cups mashed ripe bananas, 1 cup sour cream, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt, and 3 cups all-purpose flour.
  7. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  8. Stir in 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional).
  9. Divide batter evenly between the prepared loaf pans.
  10. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Baking time may vary depending on your oven.
  11. Let cool in the pans for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
