Banana Bread with Sour Cream

This Sour Cream Banana Bread is super moist and fluffy. Just the perfect dessert, snack and even breakfast with a hot cup of coffee, tea or hot chocolate.

Don’t you ever think of throwing away over ripe bananas, transform them into something delicious. I know you might have come across many banana bread recipes, but trust me this particular recipe will become your favorite. The reason I love this recipe is because, it can stay moist for days even if in the refrigerator.

Which Ingredients to use?

  • Bananas: Overripe bananas with dark spots or with black skin is the best to use. Also to ripen bananas quickly, you can bake at 350 degree F for about 15 minutes then allow to cool before peeling and mashing.
  • Flour: Only all purpose flour should be used.
  • Butter: Softened butter and not melted butter can be used. This gives the banana bread a perfect flavor and texture. If using salted butter, reduce salt in this recipe to half teaspoon instead of 1.
  • Sour Cream: This is the most important ingredient which can keeps it moist for days and can be substituted with whole fat yogurt. Greek yogurt works good too.
  • Sugar: I do not have a sweet tooth. 1 cup is just okay for this recipe. But you can add more according to how sweet you want it.
  • Eggs: Makes the bread soft.
  • Baking Powder and Baking soda: Gives loaf perfect shape, keep it soft and both acts as a leaveners.

Can Butter be substituted with oil?

Yes. Coconut, canola and sunflower oil are perfect substitutes.

Can I add Nuts or mix-in’s?

Yes. Pecans, chocolate chips, walnuts are perfect with banana bread.

How can I mash the Bananas?

Use a fork or potato masher. I do not recommend blending.

How to preserve Banana Bread? 

After cooled, wrap in a foil or ziplock bag and refrigerate for 3 days then freeze. To consume, let it thaw overnight on the shelf.
