Equipment
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup Sour Cream
- 1 tsp Baking Soda
- ½ c Unsalted Butter room temperature
- 1 c Sugar
- 2 Eggs
- 2 Bananas very ripe
- 2 c All-purpose Flour
- ½ tsp Baking Powder
- Pinch Salt
- ½ tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 c Chopped Pecans or Walnuts if desired
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350. (Use convection setting if your oven has it.) Spray a 9 X 5 loaf pan with Baking Pam. (This stuff is amazing.)
- Combine sour cream and baking soda in a small bowl or ramekin. This mixture needs to sit for about 5 minutes. It will become spongey in appearance as the two react.
- Cream butter and sugar in a large bowl using a hand mixer. Beat in eggs, banana, and sour cream mixture. Note: the bananas should be ripe enough where you can drop them in whole and mix them up with everything else.
- Sift in flour and ½ tsp baking powder and nuts if desired. If you are feeling lazy or are in a rush just put the flour in there. The bread won’t be quite as light, but it still will taste great and sometimes that’s all that matters. 😉
- Bake for 45 minutes. Remove and cover the top with foil to prevent it from getting too brown. Bake for another 10-15 minutes until an inserted toothpick produces a small crumb.
- Let cool in the pan 5 minutes and then remove to a rack to cool. This step is important or it will continue to cook in the pan and get too dry.
