Love soft banana bread for breakfast recipe or as a homemade snack idea?

After sharing my favorite Nutella banana bread recipe, I’ve been wanting to try adding sour cream to banana bread. This is because I’ve heard how much sour cream can benefit the outonlinee of cakes and quick breads. It adds moisture without thinning the batter and creates a soft, creamy texture.
This recipe is also a breeze to make as the batter onlinees together in only one bowl — yay for no extra dishes to clean!
Are you a visual learner? I made a video to show how easy the process is when making banana bread with sour cream!
Hip tips when making banana bread with sour cream:
- Use overripe bananas that are past their prime so that the bread will have that stronger, sweet banana flavor and lots of speckles.
- This recipe is for one 1.5 quart-sized loaf pan, but feel free to double the ingredients if you are wanting to make two.
- Jazz up the bread however you like by adding in 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or chocolate chips before baking. And if you’d like some extra zing, try adding in lemon zest!
- Instead of sour cream, you can use plain vanilla Greek yogurt or cream cheese!
- If you have ripe bananas that you froze before they went bad, they’ll make an awesome addition to this banana bread. Here are some other ideas for how to use overripe bananas.
