EASY SOUR CREAM BANANA BREAD



Easy Sour Cream Banana Bread image

This recipe ALWAYS comes through! Everyone always loves it and when I give the bread as a gift, I'm always asked for the recipe! It's easy to make, doubles well AND freezes well! The *secret* to a super moist and flavorful bread is to use the sour cream (generous portions) AND to use very ripe (we're talking black on the outside and super soft and aromatic on the inside) bananas! I make the bread as loaves, large muffins and mini-muffins and each turns out perfectly yummy! Enjoy!

Don't forget to top it with some turbinado sugar before baking for a little crunchy texture. Remember, when life gives you bananas, make banana bread!

Provided by Betsy Carter

Categories     Desserts

Time 1h40m

Yield 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 13

nonstick cooking spray, for greasing
1 stick unsalted butter
1 cup light brown sugar, plus more as needed
1 large egg
2 cups ripe banana, (about 4 large bananas)
½ cup full fat sour cream
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 ½ cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ cup dark chocolate chunk
1 tablespoon turbinado sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray. Line the pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the long sides so it will be easy to lift out the bread, and spray again.
  • Add the butter to a medium nonstick pan over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the butter turns amber brown and smells nutty, about 3-4 minutes. Watch carefully so the butter does not burn. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside to cool for 10-15 minutes.
  • Add cooled brown butter and brown sugar to a large bowl. Beat with an electric hand mixer on medium speed until evenly combined, about 1 minute. Add the egg and beat until light and fluffy, 3-4 minutes.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the mashed bananas, sour cream, and vanilla and mix with a rubber spatula until well combined.
  • In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking soda, and cinnamon.
  • Alternate adding the flour mixture and banana mixture to the butter mixture, starting and ending with flour and folding with a rubber spatula between each addition until just incorporated. Fold in the chocolate chunks.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth with an offset spatula, then sprinkle the turbinado sugar on top.
  • Bake the banana bread until golden brown and a toothpick or cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean, 60-70 minutes. Set the loaf pan on a wire rack to cool for at least 1 hour, then lift out the banana bread and slice.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your banana bread will be. If you don't have ripe bananas, you can ripen them quickly by placing them in a paper bag with an apple overnight.
  • Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy: This will help to create a tender and moist crumb. Make sure to use unsalted butter so that you can control the amount of salt in the bread.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will result in a tough and dense bread. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a loaf pan that is at least 9x5 inches: A smaller loaf pan will result in a bread that is too thick and dense. If using a smaller pan, reduce the baking time accordingly.
  • Bake the bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: Overbaking the bread will result in a dry and crumbly texture. Check the bread for doneness a few minutes before the end of the baking time.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing: This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling. Wrap the bread in plastic wrap and let it cool for at least 1 hour before slicing.

Conclusion:

Creamy banana bread is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dessert. With its moist and tender crumb and sweet banana flavor, this bread is sure to be a hit with everyone. Follow the tips above to make the perfect creamy banana bread every time.
