Ingredients

  • 3 ripe bananas peeled (about 1 cup)
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs beaten
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt
  • pinch ground nutmeg
  • 1 3/4 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/2 - 2/3 cup walnuts roughly chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F and lightly grease a 9x5" loaf pan. Set pan aside.
  • To a large mixing bowl, add bananas and mash with a fork until semi-smooth. Use a rubber spatula to stir in melted butter, sugar, beaten egg and vanilla.
  • Whisk in sour cream, then add in baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, salt, nutmeg (if using), and stir to combine.
  • Add in flour and stir until just combined and no flour streaks remain. Stir in chopped walnuts.
  • Transfer batter to prepared loaf pan and bake for 45-55 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
  • Let loaf cool in pan for a few minutes, then remove from pan and cool on wire rack.
