Banana Bread

Ingredients

1 stick softened butter

1 c. sugar

2 large eggs

1 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon kosher salt

1 cup mashed very ripe bananas

1/2 cup sour cream

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9-by-5-by-3-inch loaf pan; set aside. In an electric mixer, cream butter and sugar. Add eggs and beat until smooth.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Add to the butter mixture and mix until just combined. Add bananas, sour cream, and vanilla; mix to combine. Stir in nuts and pour into prepared pan.

Step 3

Bake until a cake tester inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, about 1 hour 10 minutes. Let rest in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a rack to cool.

My grandma always liked to put a “dollup” of sour cream into her baked goods, she believed it kept the bread fresh and gave it a better texture.

Enjoy!
