How to Make Mom's Amazing Banana Bread
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in the mashed bananas and vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Gently fold in the chopped walnuts and sour cream until evenly distributed.
- Grease a 10-inch cast iron skillet with butter or cooking spray.
- Pour batter into the prepared skillet.
- Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Start checking around the 45-minute mark.
- Let the banana bread cool in the skillet for 10-15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
