Ingredients
3 ripe bananas, mashed
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg, beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup sour cream
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas and melted butter. Stir until well blended.
Add the granulated sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract to the banana mixture. Mix until combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
Fold in the sour cream until the batter is smooth and well mixed.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the banana bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
Transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
