Melt In Your Mouth Sour Cream Banana Bread • Love From The Oven

My banana bread recipe is closely based off of my popular banana muffins. That recipe has received nothing but rave reviews, and it took just a few modifications to make it perfect for baking in a bread pan. Serve yours warm with a little bit of honey butter (people do eat banana bread with butter, right?), and you’ve got yourself a slice of pure perfection.

VERY ripe bananas are ideal. We’re talking dark brown, spotty, and mushy–pretty much the opposite of what you’d like to eat! Super ripe bananas have the most flavor and will subsequently make your bread super flavorful too.

Absolutely! Stir in 1¼ cup coarsely chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts are great choices), chocolate chips, or even raisins at the end. Just remember to not over-mix!

The bread, as this is the quickest way to make it dry. Once it’s cooked and cooled, store your banana bread tightly wrapped at room temperature and enjoy within 3 days for best results. Do NOT refrigerate–this will dry out the bread!

SAM’S TIP: If using nuts, try toasting them first for added flavor! To do this, simply spread the nuts on a baking sheet in an even layer and bake on 350F for 5-10 minutes, turning halfway through.

²Adding nuts If you have nuts that aren’t already chopped, I recommend toasting them first for an even better flavor. To toast, layer 1 ½ cup of walnut or pecan halves over a baking sheet and bake on 350F for about 8 minutes. Allow the nuts to cool then use a large knife to coarsely chop.

Usually I notice that a few bananas on the counter turned brown and,

Since banana bread is a last-minute baked good, I’m always amused by the ingredient list of many recipes. They call for things like sour cream, buttermilk, oat flour, or some other random ingredient that I don’t have in the house.

Banana Bread Recipe With Self Rising Flour

The only special ingredient I use in my banana bread? Brown sugar. (And if you need to make banana bread without brown sugar, I’ve got you covered.)

The reason I reach for brown sugar when making banana bread is that the molasses/caramel flavor is a perfect partner for ripe bananas. Think bananas foster. Brown sugar adds a depth of flavor without asking you to do any baking acrobatics like toast sugar or use a hard-to-find flour.

My other requirement? Banana bread should be easy. I’m talking “plop everything in a bowl, stir, put in a pan, and bake.” Some folks call this a dump recipe. I personally dislike the word “dump” used when talking about food. So let’s just call this an easy recipe.

Classic Banana Bread Recipe (no Mixer Needed)

For banana bread, use either light or dark brown sugar. (Actually, that’s true in all baking recipes. Light and dark brown sugar are interchangeable. Need another recipe for brown sugar? Try these Three Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies.)

But just because they’re interchangeable doesn’t mean they’re the same. Light brown sugar gives you a milder flavor. The flavor notes are more caramel and less molasses. It’s also less acidic (something, to be honest, that can be hard to detect in the finished baked good).

Dark brown sugar contains more molasses and more moisture than light brown sugar. Usually, when something has a different moisture content, we freak out a bit because moisture changes things. Brown sugar is an exception to this rule. The moisture difference between light and dark brown sugar isn’t enough to impact your banana bread.

Peanut Butter Banana Bread Recipe

You know what does have enough moisture to affect the bread? The bananas! The riper the bananas, the more moisture they bring to the bread.

I wish this recipe was a one bowl affair. It’s not. Before mixing the batter, you need to mash the bananas. This is easy to do with a fork. (If mashing bananas with a fork is a challenge due to physical restrictions, use an electric handheld mixer or a potato masher.)

Once you’ve mashed the bananas, grab another bowl. Stir together all the dry ingredients. Then add the eggs, melted butter, and mashed bananas. Then…stir. Do this with a fork, firm rubber spatula, or electric hand mixer. Once the batter is thick, you’re done.
