Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, (softened to room temperature)
- 1 cup granulated white sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup mashed bananas, (about 2 large ripe bananas)
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup old fashioned oatmeal, (plus optional 2 Tablespoons for topping)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 cup sour cream
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9-inch loaf pan with baking spray and line the bottom with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat butter with sugar for several minutes until fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla extract, beating until well combined. Stir in mashed bananas.
- Combine flour, oats, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir until just combined, then fold in sour cream.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. If desired, sprinkle the top with the optional oats. Bake for one hour (60 minutes). Allow to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before removing and cooling completely on a wire rack.
Notes
For added flavor, try using brown sugar instead of granulated sugar.
Make sure to use ripe bananas for the best sweetness and texture.
This bread can be stored at room temperature for 2-3 days or in the freezer for longer shelf life.
