Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup mashed ripe banana (about 2 1/2 medium bananas)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup old fashioned oats, blended into powder (or 1/2 cup flour)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
  • 1/8 teaspoon cloves (optional)
  • 1/2 to 3/4 cup toasted pecans or walnuts (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F and spray or line a 9×5 inch loaf pan.

2. Toast nuts (if using) for 5–7 minutes at 350°F and set aside.

3. In a bowl, beat butter until smooth, then cream with brown and white sugar until fluffy.

4. Add eggs and vanilla and beat until combined.

5. Mash bananas and mix into the butter mixture.

6. Add flour and oat flour to the bowl. Don’t stir yet.

7. Mix baking soda, baking powder, salt (and spices if using) into the dry ingredients in the bowl.

8. Stir dry into wet ingredients just until combined.

9. Fold in sour cream and toasted nuts.

10. Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth the top.

11. Bake 55–65 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.

12. Cool on a rack at least 20 minutes before slicing.

13. Store covered at room temp for 2 days, then refrigerate or freeze.

Notes

You can substitute the oats with 1/2 cup all-purpose flour.

Use up to 2 cups mashed bananas if you prefer denser banana bread.

Bread freezes beautifully—wrap whole or sliced and store in the freezer.

To reheat slices, toast lightly to remove excess moisture.
