The Ultimate Perfect Banana Bread Recipe

Print Recipe

A delightful and adaptable banana bread recipe that combines ripe bananas with a soft, moist interior and a golden crust.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 to 4 ripe bananas, mashed (about 1 ¼ cups)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 1/3 cup sour cream (or plain Greek yogurt)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease and flour an 8½ x 4½ inch loaf pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until mostly smooth.
  4. Add the sugar, eggs, melted butter, sour cream (or Greek yogurt), and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Stir to combine well.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
  6. Spread the batter evenly in the loaf pan.
  7. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  8. If the top begins to brown too quickly, cover it loosely with aluminum foil for the last 10 minutes.
  9. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 15 to 20 minutes, then remove it and cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
