How To Make Banana Bread With Sour Cream?

1. Preheat oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).Prepare pan: Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan or several mini loaf pans.
2. Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar and oil. Add the eggs, mashed bananas, sour cream, and vanilla; blend until smooth.
3. Combine dry ingredients: Add the flour, baking soda, and salt to the bowl and stir just until the dry ingredients are moistened.
4. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
5. Cool and serve: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then gently turn it out onto a cooling rack to cool completely.

Recipe Tips:

• Use Very Ripe Bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your banana bread will be. Look for bananas with lots of brown spots for the best taste.
• Don’t Overmix the Batter: Stir just until the dry ingredients are moistened to avoid a dense or tough loaf. Overmixing can make the bread less fluffy.
• Measure Ingredients Accurately: Especially for flour, use the “spoon and level” method. Scoop the flour into the measuring cup with a spoon and level it off with a knife to avoid adding too much.
• Check for Doneness with a Toothpick: Insert a toothpick into the center of the loaf. If it comes out clean or with just a few crumbs, it’s ready. This ensures your bread is baked evenly without being too dry or undercooked.
• Let It Cool Before Slicing: Letting the bread cool on a rack before slicing helps it set and makes it easier to cut without crumbling.

How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?

• Refrigerate: First, let the leftover banana bread cool until it reaches room temperature. Then, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or store it in an airtight container. Refrigerate for up to 5 days to keep it fresh.
• Freeze: Let the banana bread cool completely, then wrap it in plastic wrap followed by a layer of aluminum foil or place it in a freezer-safe bag. Freeze for up to 3 months.
