How to Make Yummy Banana Bread

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, mash the overripe bananas until completely smooth.
  3. Add the sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Mix well until combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Gently fold in the sour cream and chopped walnuts (optional).
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.
  8. Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the banana bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
