Yum! This is an old-fashioned banana bread recipe that's delicious. It's a very basic recipe but so good. Reminds us of something our grandmother would make. This banana bread is moist and tender, slightly dense, and has a nice crust on the outside. This would be great for breakfast or a snack.

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 c all-purpose flour
3/4 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 c butter, room temperature
1 c sugar
2 eggs
1 1/2 c ripe banana pulp, mashed
1/4 c sour cream
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 c chopped walnuts, optional

Steps:

  • 1. Sift dry ingredients together.
  • 2. In a large bowl cream butter and sugar well.
  • 3. Add eggs and beat well until light and fluffy.
  • 4. Add vanilla.
  • 5. Mix banana pulp with sour cream.
  • 6. Add pulp alternately with dry ingredients to butter, sugar, and eggs mixture on slow speed.
  • 7. Scrape sides as needed.
  • 8. DO NOT OVER BEAT. Beat only until combined. I then stir with a wooden spoon to make sure it is all combined.
  • 9. Grease and flour a loaf pan, 9X5X3. Bake at 350 degrees for 50-60 minutes.
