Ingredients

  • 2 to 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon (for topping)

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  • Cream together the butter and sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy.
  • Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the mashed bananas, flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the sour cream, and mix until just combined.
  • In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon for the topping.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar topping over the top.
  • Bake for 60 to 70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • You can substitute sour cream with plain yogurt or buttermilk if needed.
  • For a dairy-free version, use dairy-free butter and a non-dairy substitute for sour cream.
  • Add chocolate chips or nuts for extra flavor and texture.
  • For a whole wheat version, swap half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour.
