Description

A delightful banana bread recipe made with overripe bananas, oats, and sour cream for added moisture, perfect for breakfast or a snack.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2 and 1/2 medium bananas)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup old-fashioned oats, blended into powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
  • 1/8 teaspoon cloves (optional)
  • 1/2 to 3/4 cup toasted pecans or walnuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Spray a 9×5 inch loaf pan with nonstick spray or line it with parchment paper.
  2. If using nuts, toast them at 350°F for 5-7 minutes.
  3. In a large bowl or mixer, beat the softened butter until smooth.
  4. Add the brown sugar and granulated sugar, then beat until fluffy.
  5. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing well.
  6. Mash the ripe bananas and stir them into the mixture.
  7. Add the all-purpose flour and powdered oats without stirring.
  8. Mix the baking soda, baking powder, and salt together, then stir this mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  9. Fold in the sour cream and nuts, if using.
  10. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  11. Bake for 55-65 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick.
  12. Let cool for 20 minutes before slicing.

Notes

For best flavor, use very ripe bananas. Don’t overmix the batter to keep the bread tender. You can also add chocolate chips or dried fruit for variations.
