A quick and easy banana bread recipe that yields a fluffy, moist loaf with a tender crumb, made without a mixer using simple pantry ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 ¾ cups (220g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup (60ml) sour cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your 9×5 inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray and optionally line it with parchment paper.
  2. Mash the bananas in a large mixing bowl using a fork or potato masher until smooth but still a bit chunky.
  3. Add melted butter to the mashed bananas, stirring gently until combined.
  4. Mix in the sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract with a wooden spoon until just blended; do not over-mix.
  5. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, folding gently to combine. Stop mixing as soon as the flour disappears.
  7. Fold in the sour cream for moisture and tenderness. Optionally fold in nuts or chocolate chips now.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading evenly and tapping the pan lightly to release air bubbles.
  9. Bake for 55-65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  10. Cool the bread in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

If the top browns too fast, tent with foil halfway through baking. Do not over-mix the batter to keep the bread fluffy. Use ripe bananas with brown spots for best flavor. Sour cream adds moisture but can be substituted with Greek yogurt or buttermilk. For muffins, bake at 350°F for 20-25 minutes.
