Banana Bread

This is a tried-and-true classic recipe for banana bread, but with a modern twist. By adding a little sour cream we moisten and lighten the bread up.

Total time: 90 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 8 tablespoons butter, room temperature
  • 2 eggs
  • 3 bananas
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon, ground
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup sour cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Butter a 9x5x3 inch loaf pan.
  3. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  4. In another bowl, cream the sugar and butter until light and fluffy.
  5. Add the eggs and beat well.
  6. In a small bowl, mash the bananas with a fork.
  7. Mix in the cinnamon and sour cream.
  8. Add the banana mixture to the creamed mixture and stir until combined.
  9. Add dry ingredients, mixing just until flour disappears.
  10. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 60 to 70 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  11. Set aside on a cooling rack for 15 minutes; remove bread from pan.
