Yield Makes one 9x5" loaf

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus more for pan
1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for pan
4 medium very ripe bananas (about 13 ounces), peeled and mashed
1/4 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup (packed) dark brown sugar
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1/2 cup chopped toasted walnuts
Special equipment:
A 9x5" loaf pan

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x5" loaf pan with butter and dust with flour, tapping out any excess.
  • Combine banana, sour cream, and vanilla in a medium bowl. Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.
  • Using an electric mixer, beat butter and brown sugar on medium speed in another large bowl until light and fluffy, about 3 1/2 minutes. Add eggs one at a time and beat on medium speed until fully combined, about 1 minute each. Add banana mixture and beat until just combined, about 30 seconds. Add dry ingredients in 2 batches, beating on low after each addition and scraping down sides of bowl if necessary, until fully incorporated, about 20 seconds per batch. Fold in walnuts. Transfer batter to prepared pan and smooth top with a spatula.
  • Bake, rotating halfway through, until batter is set, top is dark golden brown and starting to crack, sides are starting to pull away from pan, and a tester inserted into center of bread comes out clean, 60-65 minutes. Cool in pan on a wire rack at least 15 minutes. Run a butter knife around perimeter of pan to loosen loaf, then tap pan gently on its side until loaf releases. Transfer to a cutting board or plate and let cool completely before slicing.

Tips:

  • For a moist and flavorful banana bread, use overripe bananas with dark brown peels.
  • Mash the bananas thoroughly to ensure an even texture in the bread.
  • Do not overmix the batter, as this can result in a tough and dense loaf.
  • Bake the banana bread at the recommended temperature and for the specified time to prevent undercooked or overcooked bread.
  • Allow the banana bread to cool completely before slicing and serving for a cleaner and more even cut.

Conclusion:

With its simple ingredients and straightforward preparation, this no-mixer banana bread recipe is a great option for beginner bakers and those looking for a quick and easy treat. The combination of mashed bananas, sugar, butter, eggs, flour, baking soda, and salt creates a moist and flavorful bread that is perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a sweet snack. Whether you prefer it plain or with the addition of nuts, chocolate chips, or other mix-ins, this versatile recipe allows you to customize the bread to your liking. So, gather your ingredients, preheat your oven, and enjoy the delicious aroma of freshly baked banana bread wafting through your kitchen.
