Ingredients

  • 2 medium overripe bananas (mashed)
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup melted butter (unsalted butter)
  • 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract (not imitation)
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp. lemon juice
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/2 cup
  • sour cream
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

  2. 2

    While your oven is heating, grease a loaf pan (9×5-inch).

  3. 3

    Using a large bowl, mix the sugar and butter together. Add the vanilla extract, eggs, and lemon juice to the mixture and mix together well.

  4. 4

    In another bowl, combine the baking soda, flour, salt, and baking powder. Using a whisk, mix it together thoroughly.

  5. 5

    Add dry ingredients to the butter and sugar mixture. Mix well until smooth. Do not overmix.

  6. 6

    Mash your bananas with a potato masher or fork. You can also use a hand mixer if you want your bananas to be extra smooth, but don’t overmix them.

  7. 7

    Fold the bananas, walnuts, and sour cream (the banana mixture) into the other mixture. Gently fold it in without overmixing.

  8. 8

    Spread the mixture into your greased loaf pan.

  9. 9

    Bake your banana bread at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 55-60 minutes. Use the toothpick test to see if it comes out clean after being inserted into the center of the loaf. That’s how you know your banana bread is done.

  10. 10

    When your toothpick is clean, open the oven door and turn off the oven. Allow the banana bread to sit in the oven with the oven door open for another 2-3 minutes.

  11. 11

    Remove your banana bread from the oven. Allow it to cool in the loaf pan for 10 minutes, then remove it from the pan.

  12. 12

    Place the banana bread on a wire rack and allow it to cool completely.
